@puppynomadic @codesmith_ Likewise, I feel the same about you, Kaitlin! You and other folks in the FTRI 9 cohort inspire me so much - I'm so excited to see where this journey takes you. And I'm feeling oh so confident that we're all gonna do great things after Codesmith. Early congrats on graduating! 🥳🎉

Proud to debut my solo project for
@codesmith_: a full-stack, authenticated CRUD app on reproductive healthcare and abortion access! 👩‍💻 Built in record speed (we were given 3 days 🤯). Excited for what's next to come. But first, sleep 😴

@puppynomadic @codesmith_ Thanks for those kind words, Kaitlin! I think your work is so stunning and absolutely incredible, so it means a lot to hear that! 😄 I'm grateful to be surrounded by so many brilliant and empathetic minds at Codesmith who really raise the bar - it motivates me to give it my all!

What’s wrong babe? You’ve barely touched your unfinished side projects

Happy #PrideMonth and belated #AAPIHeritageMonth! Such an inspiration to see those of us who aren't traditionally represented in tech 👩‍💻💗

Day 5⃣8⃣ of #100DaysOfCode

Sporadic job interviews makes for an inconsistent coding challenge, lol. Today I was able to refactor some code for an old codepen project (it still looks ugly, style-wise, so I'm afraid to post it 😅 but at least the JavaScript is better)

[Crystal @crystalthecoder]

Day 5⃣7⃣ of #100DaysOfCode

Submitted a bunch of job applications today, but I also had time to finish refactoring another old codepen, check it out if you're interested! 😛

Day 5⃣6⃣ of #100DaysOfCode

Sadly there's nothing more I can do with regard to the job search today. On the plus side, I have more time to code again. It feels good to be back!

Today I finally finished refactoring the code for this project (took awhile!)

Sorry for the radio silence in the middle of my coding challenge. More unexpected interviews have happened since my last day of code. Been trying to prioritize the job search. Hope everyone is staying sane in spite of this week.

[Crystal @crystalthecoder]

Day 5⃣5⃣ of #100DaysOfCode

I worked for a little bit on my old codepens, updating some of the old code and looking into ways to select data attributes in javascript. Probably gonna continue working on this more tomorrow as well

[Crystal @crystalthecoder]

Day 5⃣4⃣ of #100DaysOfCode

I started where I left off on my online react course, and took some review notes on ES6 concepts. Made progress on the web app from the course.

[Crystal @crystalthecoder]

Day 5⃣3⃣ of #100DaysOfCode

Still worked on an old personal react project for a little bit. Feeling a bit rusty since life has gotten so busy lately, but it helps to dive right in and spend at least a short amount of time reviewing the code and making simple updates.

[Crystal @crystalthecoder]

Day 5⃣2⃣ of #100DaysOfCode

Sorry for the unexpected leave of absence - I got a callback for an unexpected final interview, so I spent the whole week preparing for it.

So today I was able to sit down and finally comb over an old, personal React project I've been working on! 👩‍💻

[Crystal @crystalthecoder]

Day 5⃣1⃣ of #100DaysOfCode

I'm baaack. Would you believe that I invested over 20 hours into my interview prep? 😂😵 Won't even hear back for 2 weeks! Anyway, slowly getting back into coding. Had fun today reworking the code of an old day project ✨ enjoy~

Day 5⃣0⃣ of #100DaysOfCode (not really)

Sorry, I know this is technically against the rules, but the reason why I haven't been keeping up-to-date with this challenge lately is I've been preparing for a job interview that's very important to me. So I'm in temporary hiatus mode 😅

[Crystal @crystalthecoder]

This is so wholesome and funny to me 😂

Day 4⃣9⃣ of #100DaysOfCode

Today I continued working on one of my personal projects ("OverBoost") and tried to incorporate a new toggle feature for the e-mail subscription component!
