@JamesAttrill Amazing news, and big congrats James!! You'll smash it 💪

[Jo @Jo_On_Code]

@latifa_hassann Ahh thanks Latifa, I'm trying 💪. It's definitely tough to keep motivation up consistently. Hope you're getting on OK. I'm here to chat if you ever fancy a catch up.

Day 12/#100DaysOfCode I am doing some temp work for an educational institution, using a noSQL database to fix errors in records . They asked me to keep track of my fixes (the software has no ability to do this!) Decided to make something fun to do this..

Day 16/#100DaysOfCode During the job searching, found out that some workplaces like a Wagile environment. The term tickled me, but.. potentially a more accurate description of the way many products are made? How many workplaces are *truly* agile? I'd love to know #wagile

[Jo @Jo_On_Code]

Day 15/#100DaysOfCode Found out I've been shortlisted for a group assessment for a new role next week. Great news! Tricky balancing learning, job searching & working but I'm managing to fit it in. Revisited RegEx today as it was starting to fade.

@danni_shuttle Hah thanks, managed to throw it together while watching the football! Now I get to play around with making it as elaborate as possible for funsies. Need to get back on the JS!

[Jo @Jo_On_Code]

Day 13/#100DaysOfCode Decided to revisit vanilla JavaScript to build a little counter for my database fixes. Solved a workplace problem and got my coding practice in at the same time. And now I get a small burst of joy with each fix. Document.queryWhat?! I was very rusty!

[Jo @Jo_On_Code]

@danni_shuttle Well done for keeping at it! LeetCode was super disorientating I found. Have you tried Exercism? Similar vibes.

[Jo @Jo_On_Code]

@hinsencamp Thanks very much Fabian!

[Jo @Jo_On_Code]

Day 14/#100DaysOfCode Found out I didn't get the job. But I am v grateful the company took the time to phone me with really thorough and encouraging feedback. 114 out of 120 @theSchoolOfCode students applied for this role. Even getting to the interview was a win 💪!

[Jo @Jo_On_Code]

Day 11/#100DaysOfCode Had a great first ever tech interview. Is it weird to say I really enjoyed the process? Great conversations about the team and the role, incl. when do you actually feel like a developer?! The tech test was not my strongest part, I have to say!

[Jo @Jo_On_Code]

Day 10/#100DaysOfCode Skipping a few days here and there as I'm caught in the trap of taking on temp work full-time while I'm looking for my first tech role. Common story! Looking forward to finding the right balance.

Day 9/#100daysofcode How it ended! Spent a bit more time completing the exercise. Enjoyed getting my head around linked lists and thinking through the spiral of moving parts! Inception vibes.

[Jo @Jo_On_Code]

Day 8/#100daysofcode

I didn't have much time today, but started a tech test for an interview this week. How it started!

[Brian Matthews @bwmphotoUK]

How about just watching puffin feet for 15s??? #puffin

[Jo @Jo_On_Code]

Day7/#100daysofcode Interview prep aplenty! Taught myself about linked lists - a data structure I have not come across before. Currently playing around with while loops. A little frustrating at first but fun once I got my head around the syntax and where to take in values.

[Jo @Jo_On_Code]

Day 6/#100daysofcode The truth! Spent a few hours on @bobziroll's brilliant @scrimba React course, to really get my head around things. By far the best resource I've come across to push you to write code and get better.

[Bob Ziroll @bobziroll]

@wagslane I always tell my students that the easiest way to learn to code is to do it the hard way - actually writing code, struggling with it, and fixing it, over and over and over. No one ever learned to be a capable pianist by watching people play piano on YouTube
