I've been asked to share my experience transitioning from a non-technical background into tech. I've shared this before, but not from the perspective of landing my first job. I want to paint a real picture of the ups and downs if you're thinking of doing the same. πŸ‘‡

I’ll be the first to admit that I have let my personal coding/development commitment slip during the first couple months of my job. I’m publicly committing to adding a few more personal hours coding each week to start. I genuinely miss working on random things!

Tried ordering from @UberEats 3 different times in a row tonight. The reason each time? The restaurant was closed but somehow still accepting orders? And 3 hours later no dinner and one very grumpy wife. This is not the first time Uber Eats has done this to us.

The moral of this story is: we are never ordering with them again. This is the third time we never got our dinner because of Uber
When I realize I probably should have read the documentation first ...

How do I end up with so much junk? I care a lot less about how much we make and a lot more about how much I can unload. Seeing this makes me want to go live like @tanoaksam in the woods

Why did I agree to spending my entire weekend getting ready for, running and cleaning up after a yard sale? Honestly, because I hate β€œstuff” and I’m super excited to find it a better home (not my home) πŸ˜…πŸ˜‚

Today was a very very special day for me: I elected for benefits (health care/dental) for the first time in my life. I’ve always been on someone else’s but this is the first time I’m paying for my own coverage. Not gonna lie, kind of teared up a bit!

After October 1st I am going to be able to go to the dentist for the first time in years. I don’t talk about it a lot, but I’m really insecure about my teeth and I am finally going to be able to do something about it ❀️πŸ”₯πŸ™πŸ»

To all the content creators and purveyors of tech information (courses, ebooks, regular books, etc.) Would you like to partner with @_UmairHafeez_ and I to help new devs break into tech? We are organizing giveaways, at least once a month, because it’s the right thing to do!
