Hi! I still exist (just mostly not here). To answer some questions I've gotten: 1. yes, I still do coffee chats, 2. yes, I still recommend 100Devs and company sponsored bootcamps to help get you into tech, and 3. if you have a US library card, go to gale.udemy.com

They are thankfully prepared for how junior I am and are methodically ramping me up through established repos and new-to-me tech. 🧑‍💻

I'm getting deliveries to my house and a background check just cleared.... I'm hoping to share some good news with y'all soon!

Very pleased to report that it doesn't seem anyone has been committing crimes in my name since the last background check. Always good to know 😆

Is there a way to tell @X that I don't want personal posts from people I do not follow about rapes, murders, and deaths to be given to me in my notifications tab? It's very disconcerting.

Y'all I just had a tech assessment that felt more #AdventOfCode than @LeetCode and I'm thrilled to say I'm pretty confident I did great 🎉

Second tech assessment of the day done... this one much more like a @LeetCode problem. Still feeling good. Fingers crossed! 🤞🤞🤞

I just served on the Selection Committee to choose an installer for the @SolarNeighbors 2024 El Paso Solar Co-op, and I'm happy to say we had enough great bids that it was a tough choice! #ElPaso folks, you can still join the co-op (no obligation!) through the end of the month.

Have dogs that hate fireworks? Me too! I’m trying absolutely blasting dance music at them to drown out the noise - not my normal go-to. And it’s a miracle! They’ve only freaked out *once* in the last two hours of it (we’re at 8:40 here). Highly recommend! 💃

Our windows aren’t that soundproof, so I can hear fireworks and dogs barking when the songs switch - and I think my dogs just think that’s part of my obnoxious musical offensive at this point???

#AdventOfCode update: 23 stars in! I feel like my theory is fairly solid for both Day 5 Part 2 and Day 10 Part 1, but I'm doing something wrong and I refuse to look up the solutions 😅 Highly recommend the challenge if you haven't joined yet - it's fun!

Just saw the typo. Day 12, not day 10. 😬

Went back to day 12 for a bit... and got the right answer for *someone else's* input 🥲 #AdventOfCode

#AdventOfCode Day 14: Refactored a few times until what I needed to do to get part 2 to run quickly became clear... but it was very satisfying once I figured it out💡

I have a number of Homebrew installs, but I'm looking at installing Anaconda for the install/management of Jupyter and a few other data science-y things. I've heard they don't always play nicely. Is this a good idea, a neutral idea, or am I about to start a cascade of doom? 🤔

I am not sure exactly where I'm going wrong, but I am letting go of Day 5 part 2 of #AdventOfCode for now. On to Day 6!

On the plus side, I decided to make folders for my repo and once again felt like a CLI wizard by making all of them at once with $ mkdir Day_{01..25} Magic! 🪄
