Only in the last few years have I realized that a good life is made of good stories. Don't get me wrong: accomplishments are nice. Having a great job title can be pretty cool too. Being rich is certainly

I'm not dead, I've just been working. I'm trying to change that for all of us. Time flies and I had no idea that my last post was three months ago and a lot has happened since my last post. I had to go

My weeks since graduation have been spent sending out resumes, building things, meeting people and trying to stay positive. One thing I have noticed is how my skills as a front-end developer translate

I'm about one month removed from Hoshocon, a crypto and cybersecurity conference that was held for the first time here in Las Vegas. This conference gathered business leaders, advocates, and celebrities

Learning is a thing that never ends. There are new technologies coming up DAILY in web development. Therefore... You are always going to be finding things you don't know. And that includes the mundane

Attending my first developer's conference like Everything is new and exciting. Even going from one conference room to the next is kinda fun. What's gonna happen in there? Will there be slides? Is he gonna

When you are pushing forward, take a second to look back and see how far you have come. Not exactly the same thing but you get the idea. Today I went to an "Intro to React" meetup. This was my

Me after coming back from Hawaii... I was away from Github for only a week and I already feel like I have no idea what a for-loop is. Let this be advice for anyone finishing a bootcamp: ride that wave

Technically the bootcamp is over so I didn't miss any days of blogging. You can't take that away from me. I'll be on vacation from this weekend and gone for a whole week. So no blogging while I am soaking

A day without code? Today was focused almost entirely on my resume. I'd always felt that my resume was pretty weak because I've never been good at explaining the things I can do. For example, when I lived

So yesterday I signed up for the MS JavaScript cert exam. Today was that exam. I guess its technically not possible to fail "hard". You either pass or you don't. And I didn't. I'm not sure how

Now that class is out what do I do with my time? I suppose I have a subconscious desire to be in class, even when there is no actual class. Because both of my instructors are off for most of this week

The past 12 weeks has been an epic journey. And any epic deserves a final credits scene to give thanks to the people and events that helped in the production of this epic. First I would like to thank my

Pack up the truck boys. Its finally over! 11 weeks of hard work, constant studying and praying to whatever God out there will listen is finally over. Today was our presentation and we KILLED IT! Everyone

A day without code? Because I respect the code freeze (except for a few minutes first thing in the morning) I did not touch any of the code on our desktop site or the mobile app. It is the first day in

Tonight is my final night of writing code for this project. As of 9:00am Wednesday morning we are officially on code freeze and not even allowed to breathe on our JSX. And that means my 12 week journey

Commitment issues are just as detrimental to a project as they are to a relationship. The first 80% of the day was me fixing styles and working on both the desktop version of our project and the mobile

I'm writing this blog from campus. In the other room there is a live podcast being recorded. Social media everywhere! I took on a few issues with our final project. Styling for the page will probably be

When someone tells you that you are good at something it tends to be the first step towards you actually becoming very good at it. Its almost like a self-fulfilling prophecy. Early on in the bootcamp one

Sometimes even a Front-End dev bootcamp can have a slow news day. Our project is at this weird Lagrangian point where there is a pull to continue work on the MVP and finish ironing out the wrinkles and
