How to teach yourself programming with GitHub's Andrea Griffiths [Podcast #199] Today Quincy Larson interviews Andrea Griffiths, who taught herself programming using freeCodeCamp while working in construction. She moved to the US from Colombia when she was 17, and within 6 months she joined the US Army. She ran a chain of gyms before landing a support role at a tech company, th

My takeaways from the @freeCodeCamp podcast epi with @ossia and @acolombiadev, TMTC (Too Many to Count), every single topic covered here was mind-bending!

New favorite quote: "Re-rack your dang weights after use 💪!"

Choosing the right tool can be tricky. For example, to hang a painting, you need a screwdriver—not an impact driver.
Always weigh scenarios, benefits, and use cases.
I built an algorithm tool to help identify the best analytics solution for each situation.

10 Free Resources to Become a Health Data Scientist | HackerNoon Becoming a health data scientist can be challenging but rewarding; it merges statistical analysis with other tools to gain insights from healthcare data.

Another option is through Extracts, which can be scheduled or ad-hoc pulls of data. These are used for analytics or integration with data warehouses. Billing and insurance transactions are frequently pulled through extracts on a regular basis to check services rendered.

A year ago, when I joined my analytics team I wondered, how are external tools utilized in healthcare?
Interfaces (RESTful APIs), enable real-time communication. One of the most commonly used interfaces is HL7, which defines message formats for data exchange.

Let’s Take This Offline Unplugged. Unfiltered. I said what I said.

@jordynww.bsky.social isn’t just a blogger or ambassador—she’s a friend I made in the mad house we call @torc.dev (jkjk).

She’s helped so many (me included!) that we’ve dubbed her “Tech Barbie.”

Brains 💻, heart 💖, style 👠 she’s got it all.

Cheers friend!

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!

I promise I wasn’t talking to myself 🤣
Had and awesome convo with @opaleyesky.bsky.social whom I met at @commityourcode.bsky.social
We shared our experiences, anecdotes growing up in a hispanic home, and yes red haired Shakira is the best version of her 😎

The Commits Award Show | August 25, 2026 Join us as we honor open-source innovators, share their stories, and give them the flowers they deserve. The real reward of open-source? The community that builds it.

Open Source is one engine behind today’s data revolution. Python building, React displaying, PostgreSQL storing, and Linux running the show. #RenderATL is highlighting the heroes behind Open Source Contribute, Collaborate, Innovate.

Last week, I traveled to Dallas for @commityourcode.bsky.social
 
From Pickleball to karaoke, tech convos to socials; there is a thing for everyone here.
 
I left Texas with a smile, new friends, and the book on AI, ready to tackle and apply what I learned!

After a refreshing week offline with family and loved ones, I'm back and ready to innovate.
This week, I'm working on developing a dynamic system for building dashboards and components.

Took a break from social media to spend it with the family.
Battery is recharged, tons of things to work on!

Trying to step out of my if-else logic comfort zone. Decided to test switch-case conditionals instead. Starting to see where I can apply more switches

Testing Nullish coallescing operator [??].
In short, if the left-side expression is null or undefined, it will return the right-side expression. Since we have no room number assigned, it will return the "Room not assigned" message.

Testing controller code for submitting transport requests. Image is optional, but name, date of birth, and locations are required to ensure the correct patient logistics. So far, it's working! Can't wait to break the app again and figure out the new errors.

Starting to like TypeScript more each day. Testing hospital logistics by calculating occupancy. Best way to learn a new concept? Write code: bed definitions are clear, but understanding the difference in physical/licensed/staffed beds is the tricky part.

The three legends of the industry (@dthompsondev.bsky.social, @quincy.bsky.social, & @leonnoel.bsky.social) are back at it again, this time with our Torc MC/golfer Jason!!! Can't wait for this convo on modern Web. See you there!

This past week was busy! I completed my Clinical Data Models class, tested some builds in WebStorm, and learned a bunch of neat features on coding with AI agents (GitHub Copilot, Junie, and RooCode). Time to touch grass!

The team over at @thisdotlabs.bsky.social came through with the swag drop, huge thanks to Tracy, @dthompsondev.bsky.social, and everyone who made the last AI mini conference happen. Let’s keep committing to the progress, not just the agent.

Big week ahead! I'll be taking my next class, Clinical Data Models. This course will help me get more exposure to core tables and clinical concepts, while still combining Caboodle and Clarity data points. Excited to enhance my skills to the next level!
