Putting this out into the universe but would anyone happen to have a spare Bluesky invite code? #BlackTechTwitter

This question is for all of my self-taught developers: At what point did everything start click for you in your learning process? And while learning, at what point did you start to build something? #blacktechtwitter #selftaughtdevelopers #iOSDev #coding

@gethackteam Self-taught still self-teaching

@kumailansari @elonmusk @tim_cook Yeah that’s not gonna happen. Twitter was & is a terribly managed company that has rarely turned a profit. Elon is so upside down with his acquisition of Twitter. Twitter owes $1b/yr in interest payments alone. If someone’s buying something it would be Apple buying Tesla.

@NFT_Adventurers @John__code @NanouuSymeon How did you cope and what were some of your learning strategies when you were first starting out? My adhd, dyslexia, dyscalculia are making an already difficult journey even harder.

Hello @memdotai 👋 just setting up my Twitter flow. Here's my validation code: L9pxsgs05a1bN9EItZtL

.@techleadhd definitely wouldn’t be talking this shit were he not behind a keyboard somewhere in Silicon Valley. Come out into the real world and say that shit face to face, my guy. #BlackTechTwitter

@NovallSwift Wait until he learns that the world’s first programmer was a woman named Ada Lovelace.

I signed up for .@Codecademy Pro when it was 50% off and I do not regret that decision one bit. #codecademy #BlackTechTwitter #selftaughtwebdev

Been silent as of late but I’ve still been at it. It’s been taking awhile but CSS concepts are finally starting to stick. I can only do what I can do. #blacktechtwitter #selftaughtwebdev #webdev

[Developing Dyslexic @DyslexicDev]

Definitely guilty of this. I made it all the way to the exercises and realized that I still don’t have a firm grasp of the concepts. Going back and re-reading the reference materials. #webdev #BlackTechTwitter #selftaughtdeveloper #CSS

[Developing Dyslexic @DyslexicDev]

Slowly wrapping my head around the box model, block and inline elements. It’s starting to make a little more sense. Not moving on until I have a relatively firm grasp on the concepts #goslowtogofast #css #BlackTechTwitter #webdevelopment

I don’t even know what day I’m on. Life sometimes gets in the way but I’m using every free moment I have to learn. Right now I’m having the hardest time wrapping my head around specificity/rule order. #100daysofcode #css #BlackTechTwitter #selftaughtdev #theodinproject

Day 28: built a recipe website and pushed it to GitHub (via terminal I might add) as a project to wrap up the HTML portion of @TheOdinProject Foundations section . The site is rudimentary af but it works. Next up: CSS. #BlackTechTwitter #webdev #coding #100DaysOfCode #blacktech

[Developing Dyslexic @DyslexicDev]

@lowkeyal_ What seems to be working for me is project based learning. I’m learning via @TheOdinProject. Best part? It’s free.99

[Developing Dyslexic @DyslexicDev]

Day 27: Still working thru the foundations with @TheOdinProject. Building a recipe website using just html. Part way thru realized I wasn’t utilizing my GitHub at all. Stopped building to focus and familiarize myself with Git. #BlackTechTwitter #webdev #alwayslearn #100DaysOfCode

2. Only to have @TheOdinProject project flip the script and redo the HTML/CSS fundies🥴. I’m going thru the revised fundamentals once again. It’s all good tho. The repetitions and different approach are making the concepts stick. #blacktechtwitter #selftaughtwebdevelopment

1. Had streak going til Hurricane Ida hit my city of NOLA. No power for about a week somy learning had to go on pause. soon as my power came back on I resumed my @TheOdinProject. I finally made it thru the linked @freeCodeCamp html/css portion #BlackTechTwitter #webdevelopment
