@noemistauffer @venikunche Sticky notes everywhere. I put everything in my Google calendar and immediately use up all the notification slots to set reminders for things. I use alarms for several things throughout the day. I'm unmedicated right and it's hell.

[Lindsay Fletcher @javamazon]

Took a break from the development world to run off and become a fire fighter. Now I have time for both!

Does @tide or Gain get out the scent of failure better? And do you need to pretreat? Asking for a friend.

Had a great talk with a mentor courtesy of @veterati, was able to cement a game plan for my portfolio and will begin applying for jobs this month. Used promises to for calling multiple endpoints for an API, pretty psyched about that. #momscancode #womenintech #codenewbie

@BekahHW Membership at the jiu jitsu academy.

[Lindsay Fletcher @javamazon]

@BekahHW Will do!

[Lindsay Fletcher @javamazon]

Just spent a bit over 5 straight hours completely focused on learning Angular. I haven't focused like that in ages! #momscancode #programming #javascript #womenintech #codenewbie #developer

[Lindsay Fletcher @javamazon]

@BekahHW Yep! Trying to see what I like best.

@SALTformysquid Great reminder, and timely. I struggle really hard with handling my adhd kid;s emotional outbursts. Doesn't help I deal with the same thing.

I've been hacking away on @codeplatoon_org week one self-paced program for around a month now. Just getting in a small bit each day but have already learned so much. And I understand git! I can't wait to get to databases. #momscancode #programming #codenewbie #womenintech

@BekahHW @PeteCapeCod Congratulations!!! I'm so happy for you!

[Lindsay Fletcher @javamazon]

Old article, but great explanation for why I can't "just sit down and code" when the kids are home all day. It puts it into smart words when all I can explain is "ARGHHHHHH" I'll never understand how you parents do it. https://t.co/XYVPFkJzXv #momscancode #womenintech

@wesbos Every time I listen I wonder about the baby! Congratulations to you and your wife!

@saltnburnem Already been answered but it makes me feel like I know something so I'll say, it's an object whose state cannot be changed after creation. If you want to change it you need to reference it with a new variable, but the original will remain the same.

[Lindsay Fletcher @javamazon]

@BekahHW You got this!!! Best of luck in your search! You will be a great asset to any company!

[Lindsay Fletcher @javamazon]

@Martin_Adams That's such a great idea! I take so many notes when I'm learning things and do a lot of summarizing in my own words.

[Lindsay Fletcher @javamazon]

The biggest roadblock for me in the past year to being a developer is trying to design a portfolio website. I quit. I am not a designer. I don't care about colors or fonts, I just want to write the dang logic. What are the best portfolio websites for displaying my javascript?

[Lindsay Fletcher @javamazon]

@BekahHW @JesseRWeigel Oh gosh the portfolio is the hardest part!! I know how to do things, but being able to focus on one project long enough to finish without a concrete deadline to pressure me is hard. You've got this though. You are amazing and such an inspiration to me!

I want that RV life where we can load up the mountain bikes, the kids and the dogs and just go where we want for a weekend. That's my coding motivation. #momscancode #programming #womenintech #javascript #motivation
