Recently started using rinsing aid in my dishwasher and holy hell it makes a HUGE difference. No more sloshing water during unloading

Damn! How did I not know about this VS Code feature earlier?

[Drew Pate @drewpate]

@drewclemcr8 Thanks man. I’ll keep going!

[Drew Pate @drewpate]

Got to be honest—feeling pretty discouraged and down. Job apps keep going out and getting rejected or I’m hearing nothing. This has been over two years of the same. References, hustling LinkedIn, nothing seems to work. I need help.

[Drew Pate @drewpate]

Fingers crossed. Got a message out of the blue on LinkedIn. I don’t want to say more, but here’s hoping. 😌

@drewclemcr8 @freeCodeCamp @saronyitbarek @CodeNewbies @learncodewithme @travisneilson @QuentinWatt @stolinski @LevelUpTuts Even though I’ve already got my full-stack certificate from @MITxPRO I’m working through the Responsive Web Design cert with @freeCodeCamp. It feels like a right of passage 💪🏻

I'm still looking for an entry-level job in frontend development. It has become increasingly hard to mine the real vs. fake postings on Indeed and LinkedIn. If anyone has any leads, let me know! #reactjobs #webdeveloper

Super psyched about this FB marketplace find.

When I order food online from a local restaurant and the website is acting funny I immediately open up the console. Am I a real developer yet?

[Drew Pate @drewpate]

I’ve been actively applying to jobs for a few weeks now, and continuing to gain experience coding on my own.
I sometimes hear stories of people getting hired right away. But that might also mean I’m not doing anything wrong, and it’s only a matter of time.

@mikecodemonkey I learned to build them with Node and Express JS

Hooked up a test fetch request to a movie roulette app I’ve been building. I love connecting with APIs—something about it is so satisfying and empowering. Can’t wait to see what this turns into!

I’m avoiding looking up anything Tears of the Kingdom related because I’m sure some lunatic has beaten it already. Enjoying the discovery.

[Drew Pate @drewpate]

I’ve been working on improving my skills with git and GitHub: branches, pull requests, actions, forks, cloning, etc.
If I could tell someone who wants to learn to code one thing it would be to practice this stuff right away.

Finally getting around to building something in NextJS and Tailwind.
