This week I secured a senior frontend developer position due to start on Monday. I had spent a couple of months working on my own venture prior to that. It's kinda exciting to be back to the office environment.

I saw my classroom for the first time where I am going to be teaching inmates who have been locked up for a very long time how to code!

[Jess Lee]

That's incredible!!

Do you know Alex Qin ? I was volunteering with her Code Cooperative program for a short time.

[ruby--pinealgandrx]

I wrote a post about growing up with a Mom in tech because it was Mother's Day and I'm gearing up for a 5 minute lightning talk at ACT-W in Portland, OR. It felt great to honor the memory of my mother in a meaningful way!

This week I submitted to not one, but two conference talks! One to ElixirConf and one to RubyConf.

These would be my first time(s) submitting a CFP, and it's quite a mental hurdle to overcome and decide to submit. There's always that slight doubt lingering at the back of my mind (you'll never get accepted!), but this time I've decided to just do it anyway :)

Also, I've recently been trying to speak more at meetups too, so hopefully everything works out and that my talks get accepted!

*Became a community moderator for OpenSource.com
*My proposals to speak at/get travel funding for Open Source Summit North America were accepted.
*My team won the "Most Innovative" award at our company hackathon yesterday.

I started learning Rust, and did a thing. It was surprinsingly dificult to make, giving how simple the program is.

I feel like every Rust tutorial that doesn't cover the basics should begin with a warning like:

If you don't know anything about Rust and want to follow along, please don't. Go read "the book" until chapter 10 or check out Rust by example and then come back.

Rust has a nice and polite compiler, it would be a shame if you spend the next two hours yelling at it.

thanks for the warning hahaha!

I got promoted to Senior Consultant!

[Michael Rice]

Nice! I come from a consulting background - it's an incredible career and landing Senior Consultant is usually a big deal. Congrats :-)
