I met a software developer with over 10 years of experience who said it was their dream to go to a specific tech conference but they couldn't afford to go.
That's when I realized there are devs with experience that do not have access to resources because of income.
Here's what you don't realize:
Finally got out of a slump of not training in the gym early in the morning. I miss the feeling of a good pump before the sun is up.
My mind is blown after diving into git rebase vs git merge, and the clear difference of when to use what for each scenario. Currently going through the Git course on boot.dev.

For those that use ChatGPT, may be worth it to turn off ad personalization.
Last couple of days Iβve been migrating all my accounts away from big tech companies. Iβm starting with email, and will soon work my way to my own cloud storage so I donβt need to waste $$$ on having photos in a cloud I canβt βownβ.
For sure CSA had that lmao! ITSM one was actually 20 questions, while CAD and SAM certs were under 10 questions.
ServiceNow Delta Exams complete!! β
Update on The Odin Project, Iβm finally 85% of the way with foundations path! Refreshing so far going over JavaScript, and looking forward to Ruby on Rails path.
Iβve been avoiding reviewing my anki deck like the plague. Leon mentioned in yesterdayβs huddle to start small, even if itβs 5 minutes to get over the hurdle.
Finally cracked 16 rounds of puzzle streak on Lichess!
Iβve pondered the thought of started a local chess club lately

Statement from the family of Alex Pretti, Michael and Susan Pretti: βWe are heartbroken but also very angry. Alex was a kindhearted soul who cared deeply for his family and friends and also the American veterans whom he cared for as an ICU nurse at the Minneapolis VA hospital. Alex wanted to make a difference in this world. Unfortunately he will not be with us to see his impact. I do not throw around the hero term lightly. However his last thought and act was to protect a woman. The sickening lies told about our son by the administration are reprehensible and disgusting. Alex is clearly not holding a gun when attacked by Trumpβs murdering and cowardly ICE thugs. He has his phone in his right hand and his empty left hand is raised above his head while trying to protect the woman ICE just pushed down all while being pepper sprayed. Please get the truth out about our son. He was a good man. Thank youβ

Iβm behind thinking today was Monday. Overall, awesome analysis and looking forward to todayβs episode!
I see #TheProgrammingPodcast, I click. Simple! Curious to know, has release cadence change from Thursday to Monday? @dthompsondev.bsky.social @leonnoel.bsky.social
LFG!!!!!!
Going through the Chrome DevTools, and I have an appreciation for the folks that put this much time and effort into the documentation and tool itself! The reading can be dense, but so much good information. #theodinproject

I've been up to something recently, and going back in time to conquer some lessons, specifically JavaScript that I quit when I was first learning how to code back in 2021.
While I'm here, I have a goal of completing the Ruby on Rails track in 2026! #TheOdinProject
I said this earlier in the year that The Programming Podcast would be #1 on my Spotify Wrapped. @dthompsondev.bsky.social and @leonnoel.bsky.social delivered!!!
The itch to move my site to 11ty because Iβm a fan of the templates and simplicity of the tool. Iβm a fan of this template! eleventy-excellent.netlify.app

Nice feeling when your kiddos scream βThis is the best Halloween EVER!β π»π
Nerd moment. Using the copilot community plugin in Obsidian, I am now able to connect to a LLM of choice and use it make note creation, summarization, and all the fancy things directly in the second brain! π₯π€―
Updating my weekly dev log might be easier now since I can query all my notes.
Still canβt believe yall have a podcast! I share it with all friends/folks that are transitioning into tech from the military.

Went HAM for 3 weeks studying for the ServiceNow CIS Software Asset Management certification using Anki and passed!!! #LFG

On building the community, neuroplasticity, and resilience it takes to make it through the trough of sorrow and break into tech
Bouncing back from burnout and how to move with intention
Really excited for this one!
