Good ‘Office Hours’ session with @RubyforGood tonight! Thank you to the volunteers who paired with me.
Learned about creating authorization policies using the Pundit gem and writing tests for those policies. 🙂

Roughly one in four leadership positions at large global tech firms are expected to be held by women in 2022.
It’s amazing to see more women in leadership, but tech still has a long way to go in terms of equal pay, diversity, and closing the gender gap.

A CEO of a US diaper non-profit told me that no US funds go toward sanitary products. Diapers? Wipes? None of it. I found out about this because I joined @RubyforGood, an organization that's trying to help

Be careful of knee-jerk reactions for social good, but if you know Ruby on Rails @RubyforGood has several beginner friendly projects that benefit nonprofit.
One of which is CASA, that advocates for youths in foster care.

This is why I love helping with the @railsconf scholarship program. We're still looking for Guides to join us.
If you'll be at the conference this year, volunteer to be a Guide and provide a welcoming face for new devs railsconf.org/scholarships
@GoRails subscriber → @railsconf scholar → Associate Software Engineer → and as of today, Software Engineer! 🥳
Maybe next I finally learn how to swim! 🏊🏽♂️

What helped me switch from engineer to PM?
1. User Experience (like "Intro to HCI" on Coursera)
2. Lean (like the book "Lean UX")
3. Developing a portfolio; practicing PM tasks even without the formal title. Both at work and for groups like @RubyforGood

If you're interested in learning #ruby, I published a 49-day series on getting started with Ruby last year.
Each day is a different small piece with a task that incrementally builds your knowledge of the language.

If you're learning web development, you'll have many libraries to choose from.
And React is one of the most popular out there today - so it's a good bet.
In this detailed roadmap, @tapasadhikary lays out how to learn React & what concepts to focus on.

What the internet may not know is that contributors who work on @RubyforGood projects, especially github.com/rubyforgood/casa are essentially getting for "free" (i.e. labor in lieu) some great how-to-be-a-dev tutoring from the project maintainers. It's not a bad deal if you need it.
