I got my first paycheck after career change!

It is neither a dev job nor a huge amount, but still, it feels really amazing. ✨🥳

➕ My apology for the lengthy comment, but I have to brag this as well.
Thank you, everyone, on Dev.to❣️ This is way much bigger celebration then I expected.

I had a great phone interview on Tuesday! So great that they asked me to come back for an in person interview/coding challenge! I’ll be spending next week getting mentally prepped for that because my in person interview is on Monday the 5th. Woo! This job would be a huge step forward in my web development career.

• Learned Bootstrap 4.
• Recreated my portfolio using bootstrap 4.
• Learned about the SOA (Service Oriented Architecture) knowing that i will be working on a project that contains: a mobile app + a website, and i hadn't have the slightest idea of how it should work together before.

[Austin S. Hemmelgarn]

I finally got around to learning basic SASS (I've been meaning to do so for a while now), and then immediately applied that knowledge to improve load times for the web app I've been working on by using SASS imports to cut down on the total number of style sheets that need to be fetched. In all, it made the app load almost 3.5 seconds faster on a simulated 3G network.

[Vicente G. Reyes]

This week, I... landed 2 short term clients - one shopify and one mobile UI design gig! 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

Edit:

Plus I'm half way through the NPO's website that I'm developing. 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
