Day 2 - SWE job searching - 100devs #100devs #HUNTOBER2025
Done: Catchup crew - 100Devs day 2 homework, uploaded to codepen and imgbb cert for coursera cert. Lots of Pomodoro fun time.
What I learned, is that I know more HTML than I thought. It's like riding a bike

And in other rabbit holes mentions, you should know, am fond of amazing tea & Pokemon Go. Tea time is a must to center yourself while working

Day 2 - SWE job searching - 100devs #100devs #HUNTOBER2025

Four key areas:
Narrative:Positive Mindset found & engaged
Networking:WIP
Behavioral:Set goals and timelines
Technical:Adding more skills
Added daily processes to make the goals happen is key! Github & bsky is now my daily work process.👏

Day 2 #100devs - Am finally doing something that I had been putting off, just cause I was anxious. I did before, and didn't get a cert on it, and was procrastinating redoing it. Now more is inside. And now, it's DONE and checked off the list www.coursera.org/learn/learni...

#checkin #100Devs Day 2 - fun times

Yesterday, #100Devs talked about crafting a story that gets you hired!

Today @grahammcbain.bsky.social who went from bootcamp grad to Senior Developer Advocate working on Amp Code is

Telling their story, breaking down the agentic coding space, & giving everyone free credits in 30 mins!

#100devs #Huntober2025

When new, make a private Github folder of accomplishments/what was built that day and a motivation file.
Then a folder of files where you write concepts in your own words and examples giving you your own private, searchable knowledge base. Add to it and read daily

Day 1 - SWE job searching starts today with 100devs #100devs #HUNTOBER2025
#Hitthegroundrunning

Focus on four key areas:
Narrative
Networking
Behavioral
Technical

Putting it out there, my wanted Role is SWE | Data in the San Jose / Bay Area of California - a Hybrid or Remote role

Checking in. Let's start here, with the mindset where you are always learning new things and able to hit the ground running.

Let's build our community, starting now!

AI struggles with fuzzy concepts like ethics or kindness, unlike humans who bring experience and understand, the "why." It's predictive nature based on text means missed crucial context. Human guidance is essential, nuanced understanding beyond mere text. G In, G Out. Be intentional on its use.

Spent last week doing DataCamp's Data Engineering courses 8 courses that made up over 40+ hours worth of Python, Airflow, Spark, DAGs, Apache, ETL, AI, ML and SQL. Key things learned was that I knew more than I thought on the subjects due to past adjacent area work.

Watching Google I/O event even tho I am miles away from the event. Introverts, accessibility and those with low social batteries are great reasons for virtual events. It had a Pokemon achievement within minutes. Using a game, to instantly give context to the crowd is a great way to start a talk.

Also, it’s Earth Day! Just like backpackers, try not to make Earth worse than when you started today for those that come after you!

*Sighs*, Well, it's a popular subject in the tech world at the moment, and very relevant for a Cybersecurity standpoint.

The perfect little learning course for those that don't want to be overwhelmed, but also wanting to learn more about Gen AI. This is the one I give to people who are curious to start them on the journey. www.cloudskillsboost.google/course_templ...

Goals -Starting this week: Data Engineering Zoomcamp 2025 then AI LLM Zoomcamp Will be doing this, as well along with the Google Skillsboost Gen AI, and courses from DeeplearningdotAI on Gen AI. Looking for other resources after, until revamp the portfolio and start the big "Apply&interview" binge

Learning about MCP (Model Context Protocol) and MCP Clients today. Excited and can't wait to see if the standards work out, as it seems like a solid choice for AI agents and a needed next step. Now to figure out a few use cases and make an example project of my own.

Learned from a course, Deeplearning.ai's "Basics of AI Python Coding" by Andrew Ng. Lots of great stuff and a good foundation for learning the basics of AI. As someone that has taken various of his Deeplearning courses over the years, it is a great refresher.

An angry frog comic; trying its best.

for whoever else is trying their best today

Engineer Your Ideal Tech Career - Taro Course Where do you see yourself in 5 or 10 years? What projects will you be working on? What problems will you be solving? Many people take a passive approach to career growth, but this rarely leads to ful...

Day 4 - LinkedIn notice from an old VR friend who suggested a free course this week called "Engineer Your Ideal Tech Career" by Sophie Novati - www.jointaro.com/course/engin.... This was worth the time spent.

Day 3 - Refreshed git knowledge & watched a local event's classes on recap. Created plan for projects and study plan going forward

Day 2 - Attended an orientation for a study group for a certificate with no surprises. Reviewed my current resume and started to get things going, while making sure that the Github account is ready to go. Setting up for a great start. The hardest part is making up the steps needed.

Day 1 - I am trying to be more transparent, and instead of being an introverted geek gal, I am going to post here about my adventures in learning more about coding and document my coding adventures. Keep an eye out for random rambling and learning posts about a geek gal relearning how to code.

Umm, what? 14 cents vs $15. *blinks* How many models are going to be swapped over to DeepSeek by the end of the day by US companies after almost no testing just because of cost?
