Life update: I'm putting these into full-time practice this summer ☀️ I've quit my job, and am taking some time off to just vibe, try to un-burn-out, and prioritize being a human 💆🏽‍♀️ What's next? 🤷🏽‍♀️ Ask me again in a few months, maybe 🙃

Friendly reminder to eliminate words/phrases like these from your talks, blog posts, docs, etc: "simply" "just" "obviously" "of course" "it's easy" They do nothing to enhance your point, and can only serve to make people feel stupid if the "obvious" thing isn't obvious to them.

PSA: If you're in public not wearing a mask, and you see someone who is, the absolute literal *least* you can do is NOT shame them, tell them to take it off, say it's "unnecessary", or otherwise give them shit. Just keep your selfish mouth shut. Better yet, keep it covered 😷

If you think you can't give talks bc you get stage fright, or that people who do it often don't have that, well I have good news and bad news 🙃 I've been a quasi-professional public speaker for what, 6ish years now? I still get nervous before every talk. Every effing time 😰

Studying coding in lockdown? I have some 3-month @EducativeInc scholarships to give away - haven't tried it myself, but it covers lots of topics 📚 Honor system: If you're marginalized in tech & can't afford $180 but will really use this, DM your email - 10 folks get codes!👩🏾‍💻✨

If your 2020 goals involve: 💡 getting better at programming in *any* way 💞 joining a more inclusive tech community 🤑 finding a new coding job ...then you need to do a @recursecenter retreat this year! RC's free, but NYC isn't - a grant can help make it happen. It did for me!

📢 We offer grants of up to $7,000 to folks from groups that are underrepresented in programming who do a batch at RC. Tell your friends! 💻 RC is free for everyone: our grants cover living/travel expenses that would prevent someone from attending.
