To find out about the talks and experiences at CodeLand 2022 and discover what may be exciting or interesting, I recommend visiting the official CodeLand website, reviewing their schedule, and looking for information and reviews for glass company from attendees who participated in the event. This will help you identify talks and sessions that align with your interests and goals.
What did you do when found a bug?
How to solve it? Any trick?
I don't have anyone I'm on edge to hear from, more that I want to see everything I can.
I attended last year, but this year I knew about it way in advance.
The Chat function.
I'm attending this year because as soon as I heard about it, I was instantly excited.
I wouldn't say I have a side project, per se. I've been learning on-and-off at Team Treehouse and Pluralsight. I just wish I had the opportunity where I could just go from month to month without having to freeze my Team Treehouse account because I can't pay for it that month, or this month, honestly. I suppose a side project I was successful at, however, was completing #100DaysOfCode through Team Treehouse in 2018.
A cool thing I learned is that I know more than I thought I would at this point. That there is more accessiblity than there was when I started, well and truly, on my Livejournal in 2004. I still have it and it taught me a ton about HTML/CSS and I love that others learned the same way.
A way I stay motivated is to not allow myself to think about getting started. Sitting down at my computer at eleven o'clock at night and just doing some programming until two am is really enjoyable for me.
I'm learning a whole bunch of things. The key for me is to find ways to stay excited because the loss of motivation for myself starts with not listening to myself. I've gone back to tweets from two days ago and found exactly what the problem was already expressed about how I need to type along with the stream. I can't seem to understand everything if I do it differently. I instantly get my motivation back.
The last thing that blew my mind was when I realized that I'd learned how to hack and was a hacker. That started because I was really tired of being hacked and had to figure out how to keep it from happening in the first place.
Realizing that someone WROTE different sites in the formats I've seen is universally awesome. Like the Montana Meth Project. I realized, 'someone wrote this!'.
I know I still want to be a forensic pathologist, but I want to work in a job that doesn't feel physically tortured at the end of a workday with pain in my back and legs.
Professionally, I've learned that people lie. Businesses lie. I'd tell myself to look for jobs that aren't secretly for neurotypicals and the managers aren't going to hop, skip, and jump right over your resume because they don't actually have to TELL you that's why they aren't hiring or re-hiring you.
The memory of writing a webpage AT ALL making me extremely nervous. Like, when I would stumble across an insanely awesome Livejournal where the stylesheet was SO COOL. I would always wonder 'HOW DID THEY DO THAT?' I don't think that anymore.
EVERY. SINGLE. ONE!
Design Systems for Developers
There's More To Open Source Than Code! I've been looking to get more involved in OS projects
Thanks for the opportunity to join, So glad to hear from professionals from the Big Tech spaces.
I think that NITYA NARASIMHAN is a firecracker and such gift, she just spent minutes of her time to give of herself and offer some of the most influential material that I have seen in a while. Thanks so much on your efforts as your truly a person that will pay it forward quite a number of times.
Got busy at work >_< so making time today to catch up and experience CodeLand once again :D
Accessibility, representation, and mental health.
