Last year I changed careers at the age of 42 into tech and have loved every minute of it. This year, I want to keep learning and want to resume some of my side projects and maybe pick up something new. Good luck to those starting their tech journey this year

As I watch the Afghan evacuations, I remember being left behind in Iran in 1979, when everybody I knew fled the country at a time of revolution and war. My twin brother and I were 6 years old. This is the story of what happened after everybody left:

One piece of feedback I got from my technical test was about my (lack of) use of automated testing. So been learning about that and applying it to a project. Also managed to get Covid too 🥵🥶🤯🤬😷🤒🤕🤢🤧

I put off applying for jobs because I didn't think I was ready. My better half kept saying I should let them decide by putting myself out there. Against my judgement, I put myself out there I am now looking forward to my first day working for a great company.

Signed up for the @GatsbyJS webinar on headless shopify with Gatsby. Already loved Gatsby with WordPress but I've never done any e-commerce... I set up the starter site and had a play. Reckon I will be setting up a store with this great combo soon!

Just had my 2nd shot of Astrazenica at the old central studios, Nottinghan (where they filmed bullseye). Had a look for any old speedboats that may have been left lying around, but couldn't find any

One day after sorting my LinkedIn profile and already made some contact with recruiters reaching out. May not result in anything (yet) but I'll take that as a small win. Gym now, then fix CV/resume to match the above awesomeness 💪

So, career changers, how long do you get to code each day? Today, after work, being a dad and going to the gym, it is now 10:20pm and I'm going to do some work on my personal site. I'll probably do 2 hours tonight before bed

I reckon I am the furthest into a course (advanced react by @wesbos)without stopping and doing my own thing. Its reassuring to see that I do in fact know a decent amount of stuff, whilst picking up plenty of new stuff Will defo use a lot of this in my next (ba dum tss) project

As a dad my biggest hope is that I am able to help my son find the things he will be passionate about in his life He might not have a choice on learning how to code though. Sorry, son 😆 #DEVCommunity
