Did I forgot AWS is today up until yesterday? Yes. Did I stay up all night and am still attending? Also yes. HMU if you’re going.

For those who didn’t attend the huddle, I have an update regarding Jean Claude Van Sam/devmansam: he has an infection in his blood which has lead to the surgery he needs before he can get chemo to be postponed by at least a week and is in the hospital getting treatment as of yesterday.

What does it really take to build a career in tech and bring others along with you? @roxyrodbeck.bsky.social sits down with Briana Valmont, a backend engineer who is just as passionate about scaling people as she is about scaling systems. Register here: 9letq.r.a.d.sendibm1.com/mk/cl/f/sh/W...

I know I've been kind of quiet on here, but I've been trying to find my balance as I begin my journey of becoming an herbalist while still working on 100devs. I love it so far, and it's filling my cup in a way that gives me more mental fuel for 100devs, it's just I've had other things going on.

Those of you who attend the huddle may already know, 100devs member devmansam/Jean Claude Sam has pancreatic cancer. I was wondering if any of you would be willing to sign a digital card and write him some well wishes? Maybe tag or send to people within 100devs who you think would be interested too?

The ennui of almost a week and a half and no huddles… 😔

There are many enlightening statistics & facts in this, but this stopped me cold: “A mother’s reading skill is the greatest determinant of her children’s future academic success, outweighing other factors such as neighborhood and family income.” So many inferences can be drawn from this single fact

Has anyone ever tried Elementary OS before? If so what do you think of it?

@roxyrodbeck.bsky.social look what I found! www.barnesandnoble.com/w/roxie-fox-...

Coding by candlelight, eating grapes, and listening to melodic music has me feeling more like a 18th century composer than software engineer. 😅

Jackie helped me take notes during the huddle (after I wouldn’t let her sit on top of the paper).

How is AI changing entry-level hiring? We sent out a survey asking hiring partners what’s actually happening. Here are some of the results we saw. See the full results in our 2025 Annual Report: www.resilienthires.com/annual-report

Dual booting between Windows and Linux is how I imagine Persephone felt.

I’ve begun experimenting with listening to classical music while coding after being burnt out on EDM and it kind of makes me feel like I’m Hannibal Lecter. 😅 😌

AI literacy is now a basic skill: it's not just for developers anymore. In this course, you'll learn core AI concepts, including autonomy, adaptivity, bias, & how human input shapes these systems. You'll also explore the social & environmental impact of AI. www.freecodecamp.org/news/ai-lite...

After reading a lot of the Claude Code base that was leaked taught me two things 1. I have never been more reassured than I am now. Software Developers will be around for a long time. 2. Claude Code has a hidden command to hide that a contribution was made by a Claude employee

If you use GitHub (especially if you pay for it!!) consider doing this *immediately* Settings -> Privacy -> Disallow GitHub to train their models on your code. GitHub opted *everyone* into training. No matter if you pay for the service (like I do). WTH github.com/settings/cop...

This is a big reason why you still need to learn how to code,especially when it comes to authorization

My fellow nerds! Do you crave a (coding) challenge?! Do you love bragging about your spot on leader boards?! So I found out @codedex-io.bsky.social has daily coding challenges, in whichever language you prefer. Go forth my nerdy kin, and defeat them! 🔥 www.codedex.io/daily...

Reposting so I remember to look at this later.

I found gluten free pie on Pi Day guys. 🥺 And it wasn’t cherry, they almost always only have cherry…

I just learned that Anthony Bourdain was 44 when he wrote the book that really launched everything we will remember him for. Gonna remind myself of this whenever I feel like I'm getting too old to pursue anything new.

I love her so much. She is a delight.♥️

This direct mutual aid fund is tax deductible and your employer can match it, if any of my followers have been looking for one like that!

Today my thoughts only consist of (superb) owls, caffeine, and web design. 😌

Have a Jackie. I have no clue what she wants but my gosh she wants *something*.

I have been sick but not too sick to code. 😤 Still working on anki and FCC. Moving slower than I want even for being sick but I truly feel like I'm retaining the information for the long term, it's being engraved in my mind.

Coding goals: Anki and the CSS FCC course. I’ve had some personal things come up that have been hurdles keeping me from meeting my studying goals but I’m going to keep on chugging.

Job hunting shouldn’t feel like doom-scrolling at 1am. So we fixed it. Now you only see roles that actually make sense for you based on your skills and interests. Basically… the job board we wish existed before we got hired 😭 Check it out: platform.torc.dev#/jobs/matches

I forgot to announce it but I’m officially back to 100devs. The past few days I have been reviewing FCC and studying Anki. c:

For those daunted by Regex, the one and only Sam breaks it down and makes it as digestible as pizza. 😎

Reposting so I remember this when I get a new laptop.

For those who didn't see it during the huddle: if you're interested in learning C# there's a great free book you can read online called The C# Programming Book. I found it easier to understand than Microsoft's videos when I was trying to learn it. The link: static1.squarespace.com/static/50192...

Jackie approves of my new set up, it makes it easier for her to be on my lap. ☺️
