Spent another lunch break in this delivery vehicle coding. It’s pouring outside. I’m more excited to code than to eat. Everyday is one day closer. Props to everyone coding in any spare time they have to get out of a job they don’t like, to get into one they do. ❤️

Our dreams won't just magically come true. We HAVE to fight for it. We HAVE to sacrifice things. Wake up wayyyy too early, lose precious family time, and give up just sitting there watching Netflix night after night, scrolling socials endlessly and letting your opportunities pass

Look at me, pulling code from my @github that I pushed this morning from my desktop at home…to my laptop that didn’t have it. All while being at a coffee shop and coding during my lunch at work. A month ago, I had no idea how to do this. You CAN do this. Keep it up, friends.

Hi! I'm Jacob! Back at the end of 2019, I had a realization that after 15 years in the food industry, I was stuck in a job I wasn't happy with. I was coasting through life for daily tips without a care for personal growth or my career. I felt like life was passing me by. It was.

Spent the whole morning learning APIs by building a #ChuckNorris site. Video didn't record it, but every time you click, you ALSO get a Chuck Norris sound clip that plays. FYI: Chuck Norris once kicked a horse in the chin. Its descendants are known today as Giraffes. #100Devs
