I sorta just finished my first week at my new job
...at Google!
I'm on the Angular Team as a Developer Advocate
I'm so proud of myself for making this happen and I'm grateful for this moment💙

To anyone learning to code or new to coding - let this be a lesson that NO ONE is perfect. I've been a professional SE for over 13 years and I just spent 2.5 hours on a bug because I used the WRONG variable. When I finally tracked it down I was like, "oh duh."
Happens to us all.
Starting today off with some wins! Just hit 1000 days with @duolingo!
Very exciting, now on to the next thousand days. Maybe I'll switch languages... We'll just have to see 🌟
When I was a teen learning to code I wrote a slot machine game so that my mother would play it instead of going to "the boat" to gamble away what little money we had.
You do not know everyone's story. I'm so pumped to be alive because I survived.
Good morning.

We had a server room with an AC but it was too cold to stand in there to use the machines... so obviously I turned it off so I could work.
Then I went to lunch 🤡
Whew! This took me BACK. I once had an apartment that was in a great location with access to transit, shopping and restaurants, had a living room and dining room and was only $675 and I thought that was HIIIIIGH LOL
