Been laid off since January 19 😔 of this year.
I'm confused.
I'm frustrated.
I'm tired.
I'm scared.
I don't know what to do.
I've applied to so many jobs and came up short on every single one.
With 4 years of experience I'm still in need of a chance to show I can do it.
Today I couldn't smile off my feelings.
I couldn't act as if everything was going well.
At the moment I'm weak.
At the moment I need HELP.
For anyone who cares thank you.
I'm scared because I could potentially end up homeless.
Atlanta prices have skyrocketed after inflation.
My family is depending on me and I swear I'm trying my best.
I feel so ashamed I'm taking them through this.
Day after day I fail them.
I'm tired because each rejection is starting to weigh heavy on my mind.
I know I'm good enough!
My thoughts have been good, bad and ugly.
Hopefully God gets me through this 🙏🏽
Good morning. I'd like to thank everyone who has reached out to me.
The support that has been pouring in is unbelievable.
Today I will continue to connect with ppl sending their help via DM.
There are a lot of DM's so please be patient with me.
I am grateful 🙏🏽
I'm frustrated because after hundreds of applications I have received less than 30 interviews.
Companies are continuing to lay off workers making the pool of unemployed people continue to grow .
The application process is broken.
I'm looking for a Frontend developer role for contract, part-time or full-time (based in Atlanta or remote).
I specialize in React/React Native.
An app I built using Nextjs, Prisma, Xata and Inngest.
Also a video of a React Native app I'm working on.

I totally understand us not wanting to share our failures. It's not shiny or positive.
But I will continue to share my weaknesses as well as my strengths.
I experience both.
Prepping for my interview and I began to think how stressed and depressed I was earlier in my job hunt.
There has been a calmness over me lately. It has to be from the overwhelming support I received from the community. I'm truly grateful 🙏🏽 to everyone reaching out to help.
I tell you as a self taught developer the issue isn't lack of information. Its the overwhelming amount of information. A quote to live by is "A man who chases two rabbits catches neither".

So I've been playing around with aws amplify cognito this weekend. One thing I've noticed is that I definitely have to get an understanding of
#GraphQL
to grasp what's going on but my source is

and it's been very helpful!

Hi
@dan_abramov
could you help me with this and I mean not just with an answer but how to go about figuring out. I didn't get the job because of this question but I still want to figure it out thanks.
#javascript
Decided to refactor code in one of my projects. One of my main files were over 200 lines of code. I did a lot of DRY. After there was less than 100 lines of code. Added some files to split the work and its definitely more readable.

Man I been trying to figure out why when I did a
#Graphql
query to getPost I got an empty array.
#Mongoose
was connected to mongo Atlas and still nothing but turns out changing mongo collection name to plural made it work.
Can someone explain?

Wow I read a chapter of this book on
#nodejs
and didn't fuller grasp what I read. So I decided to read the chapter over but this time I got a pen, paper and opened up VSCODE. I investigated anything that wasn't clear. I found a new way to study.

Times are definitely tough 😔.
Will they get better 🤔?
I don't know.
I have no control over the future but I do have control over what I do in the present.
As long as I live I'm going to try.
I will succeed one day!
