I hope you do! It seems like you've got your values and priorities right - even though I find it a bit strange to write an article solely about my feelings, but maybe that's because I'm not a woman. 😁
Being a woman has nothing to do with it. I’m a human being and all of these things are part of who I am as a developer. I am more than my code and these all play a role in that.
I’m sorry for you.
Hi! Well, I think I could have written a post like this, or maybe "I am a Man in Tech," because it is quite the same here, except for the community creation. My kids are the priority; thus, sometimes I have to compensate after they sleep (lots of bills to pay). I did not change the world (yet). Despite that, I changed my home. It is a small step, but a step, still.
Bekah, you're killing it. I love how you want to stay in the tech. It's easy for us to assume that every developer wants to run a team or manage a division. I'd also mention that not every developer needs to be able to give a talk or even mentor. That doesn't make them lesser. But I love this so much. I'm ready for you to change it all.
Nice article! Anw, how do you manage to do all things while having 4 kids? With an helper? I found many parents-coders hardly finding time to code and learn with kids at home.
Well, with COVID it’s been a lot of chaos and trying to make the best of it. All of my kids are in school for the first time
ever this year, so I work, catch up on life, and do Virtual Coffee stuff then. Since I’m an independent contractor, I have flexibility around when and how much I work, which is super important to me.
Love this - thanks for writing / posting it
Love this, Bekah!!! Such a powerful assertion of who you are and I have zero doubt that you will, in fact, change the world!
The final words are gems! I need to frame that. This is a good read. Thanks Bekah!
