@JLLundrigan SO bummed to hear about you as well Jennie 💔 Sending you lots of good vibes this week

[Kat Barrett @kat_barrett]

I still don’t quite have the words, but thank you to everyone who reached out 💛 I was impacted by the layoffs and sad that my journey with Dev Degree has come to an end. There are so many things I wanted to keep working on and I’ll miss this space and everyone in it very much

@ChristinaxL101 @poppacalypse @BrandonMChu @Shopify Hey Christina! We just added Dominican University as a partner for 2021 and beyond 🥳 If you apply to Dominican, yes, you can be located anywhere in Canada or in most states in the US

[Kat Barrett @kat_barrett]

@kaustiwari @tobi It might not be the best fit for that! Dev Degree begins with the basics. I recommend taking a peak at https://t.co/kO9WLtpGxu

[Kat Barrett @kat_barrett]

@kaustiwari @tobi Shopify only covers tuition and your salary. But if the visa application is a barrier for you, please let us know via [email protected]

[Kat Barrett @kat_barrett]

@kaustiwari @tobi Kat from Shopify here 👋🏻 Yes! You can absolutely apply to Dev Degree as an international applicant. If you're accepted into the program, you must live and work in Canada or the United States as per student visa conditions. Something to keep in mind!

[Kat Barrett @kat_barrett]

@HowWeekly No plans to partner with universities outside of North America just yet, but hopefully some day! For any students interested in relocating to North America, you can still apply to Dev Degree 💕

[Kat Barrett @kat_barrett]

@LawalFuad1 @ShopifyEng Absolutely! Depending on your plans, you may need to apply as an international applicant though 🙂

@Zubair24140407 @ShopifyEng Hey! You’ll want to reach out to one of our University partners to see how many credits are transferrable and what year you'd be coming in at. If it turns out you’re 2+ years into a comp sci degree, Dev Degree might not be the best fit for you! Check out https://t.co/j9Ansm8M1O

[Kat Barrett @kat_barrett]

@Madison_K_LECH @ShopifyEng Hey Madi! Dev Degree interns split their time between Shopify (~25 hours/week) and University (~25 hours/week). If you're interested in working full-time at Shopify, take a peak at https://t.co/j9Ansm8M1O or https://t.co/ihwTu6f7Fg

@micovarious @ShopifyEng Hey! Kat from Shopify here. All interviews are in March 👍 Early consideration (deadline Dec 13) is to help those submitting an OUAC 105 application (deadline March 1) know whether they'll be advancing to the interview stage for Dev Degree

[tobi lutke @tobi]

One of the things Shopify does that I’m personally most proud of. We all know that we need better approaches to education. This approach is great for more hands on students.

If you could give only one piece of advice to a current CS student, what would it be?

[Kat Barrett @kat_barrett]

I'll be answering questions about #DevDegree next week! What do you all wanna know?

@damedashdeez @kael_lascelle 👋🏻

[Shopify Engineering @ShopifyEng]

In our latest post, @emmaorhun and @alexpage_ talk about our latest open source offering, get-repo-images. We needed a way easily find illustrations and their references in code across multiple repos, so we built it.

[Farhan Thawar @fnthawar]

I pair program for an hour a week to stay closer to code — we have a bot that pairs me automagically with random folks in @ShopifyEng

A few weeks ago I paired on our backend monolith with one of our #devdegree interns @willrwang

Here's his story

We're hiring 😉
