Watching the Monica Lewinsky call her daddy podcast and when she said “women said the worst things about me” makes me sad and realize the reality that women just don’t support women at the end of the day

Was randomly talking to my dad (81) about AI/ML and what I do for work in tech and how these new advances can displace workers. He said something interesting: “Tractors and cars replaced a bunch of people and animals when I was a kid and the world was better for it”

No turning back now gonna be taking in these two 🐓

My favorite saying lately from #100Devs has been “not my circus not my monkeys” which applies in so many aspects of life

The ad lizards are really good I can’t escape an ad for a brand new GMC sierra

Yeah the biggest super store grocery might be a 20 minute drive away but I can get coffee for $1 and fresh groceries for like $30 to last me a whole week. This is why I like living in a small town.

Anyone else just rewatch old #100Devs classes on YouTube as like a mood boost or just to freshen up on old concepts? Or am I just weird lol I’m rewatching class 12 cuz it’s the first time I saw JS and I’m trying to feel the first time feeling excitement again 😆

To everyone learning to code right now: do not watch videos with negativity around the tech market. I tried watching one and 2 minutes in I clicked out this guy probably could land a job if he just applied himself and didn’t have negative self talk. Stay the course and avoid this type of content.

lol and now claims of “national security threat” are being made. What’d I tell you?!?

Ever since someone told me Marco Rubio looks like Randy from trailer park boys I could never unsee it therefore I can’t take anything he says seriously

Whenever younger adults ask me if they should “pursue their passions” or go for “what makes money” I always default to the question: do you have the financial privilege to be able to eat/have shelter without a paycheck? How they answer that is how I answer their original question

Watch deepseek get banned for “national security” reasons #Tech

Idk why it took me this long to get a Google voice number for my non personal stuff but I highly recommend it. Now I feel like I should do this with email too.

I use IG app mainly so when I’m in public and people ask about my travels or wanna see pics of my horse or dog I can easily pull it up

Whenever I look in the celebrations channel on #100Devs I can’t help but smile and feel my mood uplift reading about peoples wins and landing that first #SWE job

2025 tech conferences to go to? Drop your recs please 👇🏾

Best life hack: have a tech salary in the middle of nowhere USA

Got like 5 vacations/adventures queued up for 2025! Now go learn to code #100Devs

For everyone looking to break into tech in 2025: just know hiring surged in December so get your Jobuary on! #tech #100Devs

I don’t know what’s going to happen but I know I can handle it has been a helpful mantra lately

After listening to Aly and AJ CHD episode I feel less embarrassed that I jammed out to potential breakup song pretending I had an imaginary boyfriend cuz they also confirmed it was about an imaginary boyfriend

Came off hormonal birth control for the first time in my adult life and my anxiety went away. Anyone else experience this?

2025 resolution is to slow down, enjoy vacations, do more things I like and less about progressing professionally/financially since I’ve worked so hard to finally get to this coasting spot in life.

The book “Lean In” is it any good for women in a professional environment or out dated?

I always wondered if working multiple jobs in my 20s would make me regret it but now at 29 I’m so grateful old me said no to Starbucks, expensive drinks, and yes to extra shifts so now I can say yes to animals, vacations, taking care of family, and not living paycheck to paycheck

Every time I see the Detroit red wings mascot I get reminded of the one time I embarrassingly said it was a chicken and not an octopus at a trivia night bar contest

After making my career transition from ag industry to tech industry I realized people in ag work really hard but don’t always work smart and in tech people work really smart but don’t always work hard.

I honestly think planning and actually going on a big vacation at least twice a year, in addition to smaller “staycations” in between is what improved my mental health the most.

Anyone else mainly use chatgpt to talk through a situation or how to respond texts? Like I just mainly use it to help reply in uncomfortable situations. I think it’s helped me cope with my anxiety the most.

Dropped my phone screen time from an embarrassing 10 hours daily to 2 hours daily average. I feel so much better and less anxious. Also scheduling out posts from a notebook or notes is a game changer.

This stuck out to me from Danny Thompson “This building existed before you walked in and it’s going to exist after you walk out” Everyone should check out this podcast! open.spotify.com/episode/5btx...

My boomer dad randomly: I’ll never pay more than $100 for a concert because back in 1963 I paid to see Elvis Presley at the silver dome and he came on did one set and split his pants and I never got a refund.

I’d buy those Tesla robot things in a heartbeat if it could do barn chores, laundry, and clean behind the oven effectively

Star struck little me cheesin’ it up. 🥰🥰🥰 Day one here we go!! #commityourcode

Protect yourself from crypto bros today

I need to get my teacher outfits together because professor Cripps is back teaching plant sciences this spring!

Sometimes I can’t believe how much my life changed since learning to #code

How I broke into #tech as a #softwareengineer in 4.5 months and you can too! How I Learned to Code in 4.5 Months & Got a Job w/ #100Devs (No CS Degree, No Bootcamp, Working FT) youtu.be/aKeJcMf5SBA

Life is good. Highly recommend doing more living then surviving

How’d you break into #tech or if you’re looking to learn to #code what do you need help with?

What do people want to see next for a youtube video? How to write a script to back date github squares or automate a simple work task.

I'm in America but I'm mentally riding horses through the palace of Versailles in France! I loved being able to horse ride and backpack through Europe while working remotely as a #softwareengineer #remotework is a game changer

Doubled my income in 2 years because I switched to #tech with no degree and for free. What's stopping you?

Replace “they’re lucky” with “they had the right effort and took action when they saw the opportunity” next time you feel like you’re comparing yourself to someone’s success.
