Sam's Dev Lab

Learning full time through The Odin Project. Preparing to launch my career in software.

[Sam's Dev Lab @SamsDevLab]

Think it’s about time to finally build my portfolio/R&D/mad scientist/personal dev site.

@astrodotbuild, let’s go!

[Sam's Dev Lab @SamsDevLab]

@nikhilkumawat77 Been doing it as much as possible! Getting a little faster but still have to think about it for now. All good!

[Sam's Dev Lab @SamsDevLab]

I did home row all day today and I'm wayyyy slower. I'm like an old granny.

[Sam's Dev Lab @SamsDevLab]

@shafu0x But some big companies are still using it yeah? Or no?

[Sam's Dev Lab @SamsDevLab]

@SigilType Oh yeah I’m so slow right now and making tons of mistake hah. But I want to fly across the keyboard pain free.

Thinking about a split ergo keyboard once I get used to the home keys. Also going to check out your site!

[Sam's Dev Lab @SamsDevLab]

I've been programming for a little over two years now and my hands are starting to hurt.

I'm fast with my hacked together typing style but I'm going attempt to move towards proper home row touch typing.

Anyone else do this or do you all use a hacked together style too?

@davepl1968 This is pretty slick. Southwestern rug would set it off and make everything pop

[Sam's Dev Lab @SamsDevLab]

@clankenluben @davepl1968 😆

[Sam's Dev Lab @SamsDevLab]

@ChShersh I’ve done the tutorial a couple of times but was trying to learn too many different technologies at once. Time to get back on it an vimMAXX

[Sam's Dev Lab @SamsDevLab]

@mutewinter lmao

[Sam's Dev Lab @SamsDevLab]

@mutewinter @TheOdinProject Thanks, man! That’s how I’m feeling right about now. Stoked

[Sam's Dev Lab @SamsDevLab]

Just landed my first paid internship this week.

I’ve spent over two years learning to code full time via @TheOdinProject.

Moved back in with the folks to cut costs. Drove two hours each way for meetups.

Got the internship through someone I know at a meetup. Keep networking!

[Sam's Dev Lab @SamsDevLab]

@DThompsonDev Absolutely. Just gotta start today. Don’t wait. I grinded on @TheOdinProject for over two years full time and just locked down my first paid internship!

Have been questioning if I’d even be able to work in the industry due to the job market.

[Sam's Dev Lab @SamsDevLab]

@oprydai it seems like a fascinating field but does it have quite the same leverage as software?

Infinitely scalable and just need a laptop?

[Sam's Dev Lab @SamsDevLab]

@oprydai your setup is QD quite dank

[Sam's Dev Lab @SamsDevLab]

@yacineMTB I am! Still learning through @TheOdinProject. I've handwritten 24 projects so far

[Sam's Dev Lab @SamsDevLab]

@ThePrimeagen daggum this fool is on the brink

[Sam's Dev Lab @SamsDevLab]

Currently building my first RESTful API.

After completing a few SSR projects using Express, this is much more simple than it originally sounded.

[Sam's Dev Lab @SamsDevLab]

@traversymedia I'm with you - reformed night owl here.
4:45 for ☕️
5am - first coding session

[Sam's Dev Lab @SamsDevLab]

Just finished up this "Members Only" project for @TheOdinProject curriculum.

Since this project was about exclusivity (via authentication/authorization), I made an app for a pretentious yacht club.
