In just 2 weeks, I’m headed to NYC (Astoria, Queens) to teach a 10-week C#/.NET coding bootcamp! I’m honored and excited to have this opportunity to help these students on their journey to become developers 🎉🙌

A trans friend of mine said that after Twitter stopped banning trans harassment, it took only 12 hours before she started getting death threats. Do we have Free Speech if bullies are allowed to make people afraid to speak?

Recently @Treehouse downsized to about 10% and a lot of talented individuals got impacted. Here's a list of folks with their job titles and their LinkedIn profiles: https://t.co/9VOwhtIGzD

If you have any openings with these positions, I'm sure they'll appreciate it.

Recently @Treehouse downsized to about 10% with little/no support for those affected. You know these talented individuals from their amazing work. Here's a list, with their names, job titles & LinkedIn profiles: https://t.co/7okYD9MWS4

If Treehouse helped you, help them please.

Many of my former coworkers at @Treehouse were just let go. These incredibly talented devs, designers, and production staff won't be available for long, so take a look! https://t.co/vHEgAseei8

If you've ever benefitted from Treehouse, return the favor and share this! ♥️

@chalkers @Tesla I've never been this excited about a new car, hence why I'm constantly attempting to check my status 😂 I feel like a website beta tester

[James Churchill @SmashDev]

Hey @Tesla, why is it so incredibly slow to login to your website and check the status of your car delivery? Is it just me or are others consistently experiencing this same problem?

Doh!

Congrats @DrTarikaBarrett 👏

Honored to be named the next CEO of @GirlsWhoCode & to build upon the amazing foundation laid by @ReshmaSaujani.

As I pick up the baton, my focus will be to remove obstacles that continue to stand in the way of young women reaching their full potential.

Seen any of these folks in meetings lately? It's easy to misinterpret body language. So while it's important to consider what our appearance communicates to others, it's equally important not jumping to conclusions about what someone is thinking based solely on their appearance.

@JimmyBloomquist @JasonIsbell @ChrisStapleton It’s the “Born in the U.S.A.” phenomenon: people hear what they want to hear.

Got the office all setup for the first day of class next week with the new Dev10 cohort. New couch and some fun lighting options. Also reorganized my desk to eliminate some clutter. Let’s go 🙌

[James Churchill @SmashDev]

Another new toy! With the Dev10 class starting next week, I was looking for a way to do whiteboarding online within Zoom. Now I just need to work on my drawing skills 😂

[James Churchill @SmashDev]

Sometimes it’s the simple things in life. I can’t believe that I didn’t get a USB charging hub sooner 😂

[James Churchill @SmashDev]

I really needed this today 🙏

@benjakuben Thanks Ben! I miss working with you too. Oh... I'll be teaching my students Java :)

[James Churchill @SmashDev]

While I'll always be very grateful for the opportunities that App Academy has provided me over the last year, it's time for a new challenge. Next week, I'll be joining Genesis10's Dev10 Program (https://t.co/qRzMQgqa1L) as a Lead Instructor.
