Excited to announce that my portfolio website is live! I have been working hard on this for a while. I plan to continue adding more projects but for now, I am happy with the result :)

I've been experimenting with HTMX lately. It allows you to make HTTP requests and create dynamic front ends with no JavaScript. Really cool stuff.

In this crash course, we build a few small projects with HTMX and a Node/Express backend. Enjoy!

@LeahTCodes @denvercoder Been a QWERTY user all my life but swapped to Dvorak a few weeks ago. Still learning but the learning curve isn’t too bad imo

I don’t think I’ll ever want to go back to QWERTY. I feel so much better typing in Dvorak. A better keyboard would def help me as well 😁

[Sukh @dev_skworks]

@LeahTCodes @denvercoder Same! I love how the rotary encoders look 😂 Apparently, you can program them to switch between the different files you have open in your code editor or different windows/desktops you have set up

Curious, what keyboard layout do you use?

Solid advice from Danny as always!

And learning to code is just a prerequisite when it comes to getting a job in tech. It’s just a part of a bigger puzzle which requires cultivating many other skills. Networking, in particular, will pay great dividends the earlier you start!

[Danny Thompson @DThompsonDev]

"I've been learning to code. I am at Javascript but it hasn't been easy!"

It isn't easy. I don't think if you are coming from a nontechnical background that you will find this easy.
It isn't going to be!

LEARNING TO CODE IS HARD!
Especially in the beginning because you are learning a brand new way to think, to approach problems, and you aren't understanding why certain things happen the way they do. None of it seems clear right away.

It is even hard to understand the purpose of things. I remember learning about string methods and I literally said "Why don't we just type in the string the right way with HTML? Then we would never need to know about this for Javascript... Why is no one else thinking about it like this?" lol

It is so hard to see everything that is ahead because where you are right now, it may already seem like the mountain top is just a couple steps ahead because of the angle you are climbing at. Then you hit it ONLY TO REALIZE damn, you are barely scratching the surface.

I don't believe that learning to code is easy and I truly feel like the narrative of it is easy, is disingenuous but also sets you up for failure.

THIS IS NOT EASY! It is a skill and a hard one at that. BUT if you apply the time, really focus on what you are doing, really apply yourself, over time, you will still feel like a fool but a fool that finds their way out of a problem.

I don't think the feeling of "I am lost and don't know what I am doing right now." ever goes away, but over time you start finding out that you are pretty resourceful at great at finding your way out of difficult situations. The situations may still be difficult, and you may still need to jump into conversations with others to gain perspective. You will still need those great blog articles, search results, etc but you know you will find a way.

So it is ok if you find this hard. IT IS. That doesn't mean you are bad at it. It doesn't mean you aren't cut out for this. Just means you need to keep working at it!

YOU ABSOLUTELY GOT THIS!

@Enceladosaurus I’d say keep it, might be easier for people who follow you here to find you on blue sky 🙂

@njwoodthorpe Nice! PS 2 was my very first console, that’s where my interest in video games started :D My xbox360 didn’t get much playtime other than Skyrim and GTA V

Lots of happy memoried there :)

@jamiecha88 They may or may not but at least it leaves the door open for you to remind them about yourself when they are recruiting for a new opportunity. Not an expert here, just sharing what I tell myself to stay sane 😂

[Sukh @dev_skworks]

@jamiecha88 Thanks for sharing! Learned something new today 🎉

[Sukh @dev_skworks]

@DThompsonDev Happy Birthday, Danny!! 🎉🎉 Hope you have a good one!

[Sukh @dev_skworks]

@LeahTCodes I basically talk about what I and other people have done using 100devs without mentioning 100devs. And I offer to help if they’re interested in learning to code. Then I send them to Leon’s YT where they learn about the classes and the discord 🙂🙂 2/2

[Sukh @dev_skworks]

@LeahTCodes Sorry, I had been meaning to reply but my twitter notifications don’t work properly 🥲

I completely agree it sounds too good to be true. I used to feel like I was trying to scam them but then I came up with a lil strategy 1/2

[Sukh @dev_skworks]

Today, I published my first blog post 🎉 In this blog post, I talk about how I became acquainted with my passion for helping people and the people who helped shape me into the professional that I am today

Shoutout to @leonnoel & @DThompsonDev

@tanoaksam Sounds exciting, Sam! Can you elaborate on what makes you interested in Design Engineering? Or perhaps we could talk about this over a short coffee chat? 😄 I have been meaning to connect with you about your experience at MUI

[Sukh @dev_skworks]

Recently, I questioned myself - What am I passionate about when it comes to Software Engineering?

I realized that I have a lot to say about this topic that wouldn't fit in a tweet. So, I am writing a blog post about it.
