It's okay if it takes a little longer than you thought.

I remember attending those "girls in technology" programs and they just felt very alienating. You visited several places involving tech and they were all guys talking like you had no idea what anything is. No women in sight except receptionists/cleaners.

The program that intended me to join the tech industry just further hammered home that I don't belong there.

The best "girls in tech" was me working my way in by myself and gaining the self-esteem and confidence to not only not give a shit, but also thinking the men don't know shit more than I did, and are in most cases hired because they're men who feels entitled to a position in IT because they man and man logical.

I don't know how many incompetent men I've met in my career path that think they are a gift from the IT gods.

My tip for the girls/women reading this is gain the self-esteem enough to ignore what men are doing and wants us to be. Find your own path based on your skill. I can guarantee that an incompetent male will take many job positions but as your skill grow and as the men fail (often upwards) sooner or later the employer don't have any choice other than hiring you.

And then it's your time to shine. I almost immediately became the top malware analyst they had as I sharpened my skills every day while the men thought they did a good enough job because they were hired after all.

Then they'll ask you how you're so good at it, and that's worth the struggle you went through.

So don't give up on your dream blah blah basically ignore men, ignore their strategies for getting hired, you know what to do and you know how to get better. Find other women and encourage each other ok? You can do this! 💕

I made a beginner coding resource! 👩🏾‍💻💗

Hiya! 👩🏾‍💻💗

I made a coding infographic/slideshow for anyone getting into coding and are stuck! I'm seeing a lot of new codeblr blogs coming up recently and they're all beginners and I have been getting a lot of asks which basically all ask "I'm new to coding, how do I start?", so I decided to make this at 1am in the morning real quick! 🥲😭

I genuinely hope that this resource proves beneficial to someone out there. And remember, if you find yourself still facing challenges or need assistance with anything else, please don't hesitate to reach out. I'm here to help! ✨

What happens when you execute a simple “Hello World” Python program on Linux? 🤓

Super interesting and detailed article of what actually happens in your system to execute a line of code in Python that displays "Hello World" on the screen.

I love articles like these that go beyond the abstractions that allow us to ignore a lot of the behind-the-scenes stuff that's necessary to give us the power to write a simple line of code in higher-level languages.

(New) Foundational C# on FreeCodeCamp!

FreeCodeCamp recently release a brand new course where you learn the fundamentals of C#, working alongside with Microsoft Learn!

I had a go because I use C# at work anyways so wanted test what it teaches! This is what I gathered on how to do the course:

Complete the course on Microsoft Learn (FreeCodeCamp will link you to the various places in each lesson)

Come back to FreeCodeCamp to answer the questions to complete the lesson, then eventually complete the mini modules it has

After completing ALL of the necessary lessons on Microsoft Learn, then you will get a Trophy badge-thingy and it has a link attached to it - get that link

Run back to FreeCodeCamp for them to verify that you've done it all

Once done, you will get a certificate in which you can add anywhere!

I'm only explaining this because I was super confused about the instructions at first! (´･ω･`)

I believe you don't get a certificate from Microsoft Learn so by doing the course via FreeCodeCamp you can get one as proof of learning it!

I will definitely be doing it, I love my name on certificates~! Hope this helps someone else too! Happy coding!

Updating Anaconda almost made me lose my mind. It took 24 hours(after many 'fail to solve the environment' messages) to check the packages and 'solve the environment'. But it worked.
