Day 30 | #100DaysOfCode I'm stuck on my course work so I'm going to work on some Javascript modules on @freeCodeCamp or @Codecademy so I can focus on being consistent and not how much I think I suck #leSigh Javascript is hard (to me) but I can't let it beat me

@colocha_rachel I only think about it on a weekly basis now...progress

[melissaTheDev @melissaTheDev1]

Y'all need to do better by PT students @lambdaschool I've said it to my TL and SL but I'm putting it here too because I've been a vocal supporter #onhere so let's keep it a buck

Day 29 | #100DaysOfCode Real talk: haven't been having the best time with @lambdaschool lately. First they tried to flex me back saying I failed build week when I took the lead for the front end devs on getting shit done & murked it. 1/

[melissaTheDev @melissaTheDev1]

a wah di bumbo....so now I'm here like I could really schedule my time better than them and get the work done for the week at my pace. And just turn it all in on Saturday. Have someone review it then & give feedback by Monday. I switched from FT to PT & right now this ain't it 4/

@colocha_rachel phew....failures. I was a private in basic training and a newly minted squad leader that marched my squad in the completely wrong direction during chow formation in front of the whole company. drill sergeant was not pleased so we had some PT time to talk it over lol #AteUpPrivate

@DevsOfColour Thank you for amplifying my voice 💙

@ASpittel I love JavaScript not because of it’s syntax or anything, but because of it’s usefulness. Frontend, backend, mobile, desktop, it’s everywhere. It is a bit of a strange language if you are coming from another and sometimes very frustrating, but it grows on you 👍🏻

[melissaTheDev @melissaTheDev1]

Refreshed my screen and guess what was the next tweet under mine lol universe be knowing, just gotta listen. screen shot for posterity, may come back and tell more when I'm less frustrated.

[melissaTheDev @melissaTheDev1]

by the time I get frustrated enough to say 'fuck this shit' I've already broken down all the reasons why you cant convince me otherwise and mapped out a plan to move different.

Day 28 | #100DaysofCode Slogging thru blockchain info & more fun with Javascript DOM manipulation & components. Think I'm working closer towards some semblance of work/life/study bal that allows more sleep, just not at night. Mocked a new page, want to #codesprint & get it done

"That's not how you find a mentor" - the men I work with arent interested and if I'm not at work I'm either with my kids or studying for @LambdaSchool. Somebody invent an app where I can pay someone to give a shit about introverted hermits

[melissaTheDev @melissaTheDev1]

I wish I had a mentor. Someone that understands what its like to be a career changing mom in tech, so lost and unfocused basically. Feel like I'm playing all my levels on difficult and I'll never get to the final boss.

[melissaTheDev @melissaTheDev1]

Day 27 | #100DaysofCode Javascript components. Hoping something clicks this time around. Went to the #BlackBlockchainSummit today so I'll just transfer the hype from that to JS. should work right? we'll see... #JSvsEverybody

What piece of advice that you’ve received do you think about most often?

For me: Don’t waste your time playing games you don’t care about winning.
