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.

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. ☺️

I paid my therapist a zillion dollars to tell me this, so I’m passing it on to anyone else in MN who needs to hear it: Think of taking time away to recharge not as not doing the work, but as doing quality control for the work. You’re not going to be able to show up to do it well if you’re depleted

For all of my tech interested peeps, Equitech Futures is hosting the Civic Tech Institute. This free 10-week program gives recent graduates & emerging leaders in the social sector the chance to learn about the applications of AI in health. The deadline is Jan 15! www.linkedin.com/posts/equite...

So. I thought I would give a small life update/explanation why I’ve been distant here lately: I had surgery yesterday (I am okay!) and will be doing my best to let myself actually rest until I’ve recovered. c:

Happy New Year everyone! 🎊 May this year be kind, fulfilling, and exciting in all the right ways.

happy new year from the west coast, ya filthy animals

Have a Jackie. ☺️

Coding goals (kind of): I took Christmas Eve and day off. Yesterday I had intended to work but my body betrayed me by being sensitive to the humidity and I couldn't do squat. Today? After being out I am not feeling fantastic but I am hoping to at least get some more Anki done tonight.

Jackie wishes everyone to have a happy holiday season!

Coding goals: Yesterday I still ended up not feeling great so I only studied Anki. Today has been busy but I feel well, so I hope to get more done.

1. I have helped preserve dinosaur eggs from China. 2. I used to volunteer at an alpaca sanctuary. 3. There is a video of me naked on Youtube.

Coding goals: Needed to take a rest day yesterday, I was on the verge of getting sick. Today I still don't feel amazing but significantly better than yesterday, and will be getting back to work.

Coding goals: Only anki today. I had a Christmas party I went to, and I don't expect to recover from it tonight. 💀

Coding goals: Yesterday I worked on the website, which is nearly done. I just have a few things I need to finish and tweak. Because I went to a dev meet up in LA I didn't do anything else.

♥️

Coding goals: Yesterday I studied extra Anki (which may very well become the norm) and worked on a website. It's so close to done it drove my nuts I didn't finish it that day. Today is a new day however...

Coding goals: Exra Anki, a little FCC. Got a late start and had some things come up so I didn’t get nearly as much done. Making sure I’m getting tomorrow up to be particularly productive by cooking my meals tonight.

I also began watching FCC’s video on Git and GitHub. It’s about time.
