@Austen @JasonTheHanson The Marina Bay part of Richmond has its own ferry to the city now, too. Nice area, right on the bay front.

my first coding job was with a small company, replacing their only developer who had recently quit. the code base was massive, in a language I had never used before. there was only one comment, at the end of an 1100 line function, and it said:

//that'll do pig. that'll do.

So I made it to the final round. They liked my passion for the dev community & exp. w/ technical writing & teaching. I didnt pass due to lack of experience but if any companies are hiring developer advocates and dont mind someone with 1+ years of professional experience, hmu lol!

CSS may not be programming, but it’s no joke. If you want to work on the front end you’re gonna need to spend the time learning it.

Everybody takes screenshots.

But nobody has a good way to organize them.

Screenshots might be a billion dollar product opportunity.

When creating detailed yet concise variable names, how long is TOO long??

If I shorten it, it'll still be too general, but... 👀🤦
