Great morning talking professional development hosted by Battery Associates ⚡️ #battchat

Hello again! This is our last #GivingTuesday post of the day as most tech companies in the continental US wrap up their working day, but staff will still be keeping an eye out for any last questions until our last board member's business day ends around 6pm HST!

While we're talking about what we as an organization are doing this #GivingTuesday, I also wanna take some time out to celebrate some individual graduates! These graduates have all completed our intensive project-based software-engineering-oriented curriculum and are now out there collaborating.

Thanks to everybody who attended our #GivingTuesday Open House! The panel recording is now available here in case you missed it: https://buff.ly/41ogsAi We heard powerful statements from 5 members of our community about their experiences with Techtonica and its continuing effect on their lives.

The first step in my career was learning how to do things, but it took understanding why I was doing them for my career to take off. I went from completing tasks to asking why, then understanding the impact of my work, and eventually gained the ability to find the most impactful things to work on.

Did you know? Techtonica participants are: - 100% women and nonbinary adults - 10% nonbinary - 88% people of color - 21% parents AND they've got experience with the PERN stack, in addition to often domain expertise from previous careers in medical, educational, customer-focused, and more roles!

This post is for anyone who might be wondering what #GivingTuesday is all about. 🫶

Good morning, West Coast, and Welcome to #GivingTuesday! Reminder that we have an Open House with a panel discussion followed by open office hours at 11am PT/2pm ET if you'd like to learn more about our organization, our work, and some members of our community: https://buff.ly/490JIiD

“Breaking in” to tech is hard, but staying and growing in tech is harder. We never really talk about it, so I wrote a long blog post sharing why i think it’s hard and how to navigate tech. dev.to/blackgirlbyt...

This week, we're taking extra time to be grateful for our graduates, our partners, the members of our incoming participant cohort, and the entire community who follow and support us in our quest to #BridgeTheTechGap. Thank you for your time and support!

Did you know that a semantic layer is not something entirely new? ↠ Is there any other semantic layer through the evolution that comes to mind?

Ok. I sent the list of Black Friday Sales I could find in our newsletter yesterday newsletter.diversifytech.com/p/diversify-...

The best path forward in AI requires technologists to be reflective/self-critical about how their work impacts society. Transparency helps this.

Happy Turkey Week to our US followers! A week from today (on #GivingTuesday ), we're hosting a virtual "open house" with a panel and office hours for anyone who'd like to learn more about how we work to #BridgeTheTechGap. Grab a ticket now:

My latest blog post covers how a simple observation at airport security highlights the concept of Betterment and how it applies to engineering teams. Which group are you in? angiejones.tech/the-betterme...

CTOs, CEOs, Engineering leads.. how are you currently vetting the health (standard) of your stack/codebase beyond security or compliance needs? How do you vet that things are set up properly? Do you use any tools or are you just winging it? I could use some suggestions.

Our graduates finished the program last week, but there's still more to learn in this week's final installment of our Introduction to Programming Languages Workshop: Language Ecosystems and Practical Applications! https://buff.ly/3UMSVVC

"...60pc of responding teenage girls stated they believed their gender was a barrier to a successful career in STEM. Other young women noted that the fault lay with a lack of female role models and limited access to STEM work experience." #GirlsInSTEM www.siliconrepublic.com/advice/empow...
