This may sound cheesy but I feel incredibly fulfilled when I’m able to dive into code and spend hours creating. It brings me so much joy. This internship had really been transformative. The opportunity to collab with other devs is really inspiring 🥰😭

Sick, but hopping on the computer to try and wrap up this project. Not sure how much I’ll get through but I have my blanket and some old mtv shows playing in the background. Great way to recover if you ask me

But the anxiety never ends. Constantly refreshing my discord to see if I made the cut to start my internship Monday.. otherwise, I’d have to wait until July. I find out for sure by end of day tomorrow. 🥲

Huge wins tonight. Used Next Auth to get authentication on my app. All of the login / logout logic works and I’m so much closer to the MVP. Feeling so accomplished right now! Logging off for the night. Tonight was wins after wins

Feeling really great about my see journey so far! I just got word that I was accepted into a 6 week cohort and will be working on a team of developers to create a web app. This will be an amazing opportunity to level up my skills in development.

Diving into my code and doing a bit of refactoring. This is the part I love. Rolling up my sleeves 🤓

“In Finland, the number of homeless people has fallen sharply. Those affected receive a small apartment & counselling with no preconditions. 4 out of 5 people affected make their way back into a stable life. And all this is CHEAPER than accepting homelessness.”

You really miss 100% of the shots you don’t take. My job is going to allow me to assist in web dev projects now. I uncovered and identified a need and they agreed. Excited to use these skills in a work setting! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

Clearly development is on my mind 🤣😂 I learned so much this past year listening in to these podcasts, but the Develop Yourself podcast is unlike no other. Is Brian Jenney on here? 👀 #developyourself #javascript #fullstackdeveloper

I’m also making it a must to review theory after I code each night. It helps me gain a better understanding of programming, helping me think more in line of a programmer. Gotta get after it from every angle. #javascript #react #blacktech

Day 10 of #100daysofcode my coding challenge today was really exciting. I worked with string prototypes in JS. I also used the replace method to replace a part of my string with the new version of the text this challenge really pushed me to explore strings and methods in a new way. #javascriptmas

I hit some road blocks with my full stack app this week. It was a bit discouraging but I got some kind words and advice on how to push through this, mentally and technically. Being self taught is not for the weak. The level of self discipline and grit is unmatched. Who else is there to push you??

Day 8 of #100daysofcode MongoDB database and Mongoose Web Docs. MongoDB stores data in a database while Mongoose is a library that allows you to work w/ MongoDB easier in your Node.JS apps. Databases can be challenging, but MongoDB uses an easy, NoSQL syntax. #JavaScript #Node #React #MongoDB

Day 7 of #100daysofcode Cleaning up my code and reading through any errors in the console. My goal is to have clean code that anyone can understand. The code should be written like a book by the same author. How do you make sure your code is clean and efficient? #JavaScript #React #SWE
