The Anatomy of a Full Stack App using Express.js — Marissa Lamothe A full-stack application is composed of the Front-End (what the user sees,) the Back-End (the server/API, e.g., Express.js running on…

I spent some time creating full stack apps with Express.js. This is what I learned: medium.com/@marissa.bia...

Code, pilates and barre. The only thing on my mind these days 😇

This may sound cheesy but I feel incredibly fulfilled when I’m able to dive into code and spend hours creating. It brings me so much joy. This internship had really been transformative. The opportunity to collab with other devs is really inspiring 🥰😭

Oh and I got notification that teams will be forming for the internship today and tomorrow. I’m in 🙏🏾

Sick, but hopping on the computer to try and wrap up this project. Not sure how much I’ll get through but I have my blanket and some old mtv shows playing in the background. Great way to recover if you ask me

But the anxiety never ends. Constantly refreshing my discord to see if I made the cut to start my internship Monday.. otherwise, I’d have to wait until July. I find out for sure by end of day tomorrow. 🥲

Huge wins tonight. Used Next Auth to get authentication on my app. All of the login / logout logic works and I’m so much closer to the MVP. Feeling so accomplished right now! Logging off for the night. Tonight was wins after wins

Feeling really great about my see journey so far! I just got word that I was accepted into a 6 week cohort and will be working on a team of developers to create a web app. This will be an amazing opportunity to level up my skills in development.

Diving into my code and doing a bit of refactoring. This is the part I love. Rolling up my sleeves 🤓

Meanwhile I’m over here just counting down the days until I no longer have to make these calls 🙃

My ADHD gets the best of me.

Working on the blog web app capstone project from Angela Yu’s course. And yes, I’m still working on my full stack app. Lol

Yet here in Orlando, as the city plans to add a homeless shelter, we have a group of people “NIMBY” who are actively trying to block this from happening. Because “not in my backyard” makes them feel safer. It’s such a selfish mindset. Let’s work together to provide housing and assistance.

Finland ends homelessness and provides shelter for all in need - scoop.me In Finland, the number of homeless people has fallen sharply. Why? The country applies the "Housing First" concept agains homelessness.

“In Finland, the number of homeless people has fallen sharply. Those affected receive a small apartment & counselling with no preconditions. 4 out of 5 people affected make their way back into a stable life. And all this is CHEAPER than accepting homelessness.”

You really miss 100% of the shots you don’t take. My job is going to allow me to assist in web dev projects now. I uncovered and identified a need and they agreed. Excited to use these skills in a work setting! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

History has its eyes on you…

Let us all lift the Netflix Eng team up in prayer this day. Keep them in your thoughts.

May your servers not betray you.

Took the night off from coding.

Absolutely. Check out Code Newbies- The host interviews career changers to discuss their challenges and how they overcame it and broke into tech. The Develop Yourself podcast is great for those who are learning. He provides really solid advice on how to learn programming and how to land a job. 👏🏾

Clearly development is on my mind 🤣😂 I learned so much this past year listening in to these podcasts, but the Develop Yourself podcast is unlike no other. Is Brian Jenney on here? 👀 #developyourself #javascript #fullstackdeveloper

I’m also making it a must to review theory after I code each night. It helps me gain a better understanding of programming, helping me think more in line of a programmer. Gotta get after it from every angle. #javascript #react #blacktech

Day 10 of #100daysofcode my coding challenge today was really exciting. I worked with string prototypes in JS. I also used the replace method to replace a part of my string with the new version of the text this challenge really pushed me to explore strings and methods in a new way. #javascriptmas

And with Thanksgiving already here, I won’t spend too much time tonight or tomorrow on it. I want to step away, clear my mind, eat some good food, and focus on the positive. When I return to this project, it’s game over.

I hit some road blocks with my full stack app this week. It was a bit discouraging but I got some kind words and advice on how to push through this, mentally and technically. Being self taught is not for the weak. The level of self discipline and grit is unmatched. Who else is there to push you??

My Instacart shopper is a man.

Pray for me.

Yes it does. Hey! 👋🏾

Black women who code, where ya at? #blacksky

I’m black and I’m not very good at spades and I probably won’t learn how to get any better

Day 8 of #100daysofcode MongoDB database and Mongoose Web Docs. MongoDB stores data in a database while Mongoose is a library that allows you to work w/ MongoDB easier in your Node.JS apps. Databases can be challenging, but MongoDB uses an easy, NoSQL syntax. #JavaScript #Node #React #MongoDB

Day 7 of #100daysofcode Cleaning up my code and reading through any errors in the console. My goal is to have clean code that anyone can understand. The code should be written like a book by the same author. How do you make sure your code is clean and efficient? #JavaScript #React #SWE

Thank you for all the new follows! Allow me to introduce myself: my name is Marissa and I’m a career changer. I am a former educator pursuing a SWE career after going the self taught route. I talk about code, JavaScript, React and all things programming. Former educator/lifelong learner. #javascript
