stop glamorizing getting into tech !!!

“you can learn coding by yourself in x months & earn 6 figures”

this shit is HARD 😭

ppl don’t talk about how hard it is to stay consistent & motivated 💀

it’s definitely doable, but requires a lot of hard work 😤

i want to go to a tech conference just so i can talk to tech bros & see their reaction when i use java & javascript interchangeably

chatgpt is getting really scary, but at the same time it’s AMAZING

learning with chatgpt is a HUGE benefit, u don’t have to google shit anymore

just ask chatgpt & look at code examples. ask shit when u don’t know what something does, & as a result increase ur learning pace

tldr;

- getting laid off
- got rejected at every interview
- there is such thing as "not knowing enough to get a job"
- what ive learned from this experience
- what im currently doing

friendly reminder that gpt won’t fucking take over ur job !!

it just helps u be more productive & efficient

dev jobs still need all the logic that goes on behind the scenes that only a human with knowledge & experience can provide

idk bout dev rel tho….😭💀🤣

i realized once again that the only way to succeed at this self-taught coding thing is CONSISTENCY

you get way more from being consistent & motivated than from learning a lot of material in bursts of energy

i really don’t know how entrepreneurs and tech content creators do this shit 😭

its awesome how they gain the courage to turn on the camera & be interesting + educational…really a SKILL that gets you pretty far

hope that can be me some day🤞

literally @pikacodes is my wanna be content creator

pretty, funny, & smart literally got it all

best of luck to you ale 🍺😘

unpopular opinion/advice:

DO NOT take the first FULL-TIME job opportunity that comes your way while you’re learning to code (or if you’re not ready)

chances are that you’ll be overwhelmed with work & stop your learning journey for a while (NOT GOOD) to focus on ur job

i went through lot of interviews, & while my social media presence did help get me that interview,

my technical skills were SHIT so it was & still is hard

PLS make sure you know the general amount of shit required in the industry before you get that shiny new job.

BTW im not saying don’t work😭 im saying leave space to grow and increase your knowledge/ skills

im basically saying leave room to explore, maybe do an internship or apprenticeship & find out what u really like, instead of diving deep enough that u wont be able to get out 🥲

happy valentines day to all my single programmers 💀❤️

have fun coding/working i know i will🤣

GOT A GIG AT @codexbuild !!🍾🎉

after months of being laid off & job searching + doing whatever comes my way & failing, i finally found something i actually enjoy doing!!❤️

it’s a company that focuses on code ownership & improves working in dev teams😆

it’s been like a month since i started with them, but i wanted to announce whenever my first job was done😆

here’s the very first article that i wrote for @codexbuild 👇

ps. big thanks to @karlclement for giving me a chance to shine🤩
