I launched North Jersey Tech Collective last month and am excited to announce our first meetup is June 8, 1-3 PM in Newton, NJ! 🎉 Come by to: 🍕grab a slice of pizza 👯meet new friends 👨🏿‍💻hang out with other people in tech! RSVP and details here: lu.ma/SR0X8V9U

I just finished my 100 hours project and wanted to share it with the 100Devs community. DevLeads (devleads.site) is a complete, self-hosted lead management system I built specifically for freelance web developers. It handles everything from initial contact to final payment.(cont.) #100Devs #webdev

Helping people craft stories that lead to better resumes and more interviews live in 20 mins! Come hang out with 400+ new friends all making moves this October to improve their job hunt!

Yesterday, #100Devs talked about crafting a story that gets you hired! Today @grahammcbain.bsky.social who went from bootcamp grad to Senior Developer Advocate working on Amp Code is Telling their story, breaking down the agentic coding space, & giving everyone free credits in 30 mins!

broke up with my infinite to-do list this week & started running my life like a dev team instead kanban board? ✅ weekly sprints? ✅ color-coded priorities? ✅ my brain feeling less cluttered? ✅✅✅ wrote about the whole system overhaul: raisadorzback.hashnode.dev/the-current

Phew it's been forever since I came on here! I've been revamping the way I organize my life (blog post to come) and it got me wondering about other people's systems. How do you organize your life? How do you get done everything you need to get done? Do you have a system? Does your system work?

I posted about an app I'm working on in Reddit and got 200+ comments. I wanted to analyze them qualitatively & quantitatively. So today I built a Reddit comment extractor. It pulls comments and writes them to Google Sheets for analysis. Next steps: tagging & qualitative insights!

Today i hosted the first-ever North Jersey Tech Collective meetup, which is also the first coding & tech meetup in Sussex County, NJ! Huge thanks to everyone who came, helped, and believed in the vision. a community starts when people show up. Can’t wait for the next one!

Finally getting back into my daily coding challenges! Today I started the Neetcode 150 since Leon said if you are very comfortable w/6kyu codewars you should move on to leetcode. It's already helping me get more comfy with DSA & points me in the right direction for what to research as I learn

I'll be giving my first talk @ NY Code & Coffee this Sunday at 3pm! 🧙🏼‍♂️The Grid Grimoire: Learn to conjure clean layouts with just a few lines of code. Come learn how to harness the power of CSS. Whether you fear CSS like a cursed object or you’re just curious abt Grid, join the fun!

The last few days have made my heart so full. 😆 Cheers to more of these silly selfies in a few days. 👀 #techfriends #coffeechats #IRL #DSD @jasminepvo.bsky.social @lindakat.com @rai-bread.bsky.social

I'm trying to start a nightly routine to go to sleep earlier & be more restful. Been trying out an acupressure mat at night before I sleep. It's painful at first when I peel myself off of it, but then there's this warmth/calmness that comes. Have any of y'all tried one? What's your nightly routine?

Met with a new friend today at a coffee shop I've never been to before! Had a delicious iced vanilla chai latte and a brookie. It was so nice connecting with a fellow trans guy, especially in my area where the LGBTQ+ community tends to be more hidden. Then I took a long walk by the water :)

I’m starting the North Jersey Tech Collective, a new community for anyone in the area who is into tech. No gatekeeping, just connection & learning. Inspired by my Oma, who believed everyone has tools worth sharing. DM if you want in or want to help! #NJTech #TechMeetup #SussexCounty

Spent 4.5 hrs on the phone with quickbooks customer support today at work. Time to take a walk and get outside!

just got off the 100devs call & hearing @roxyrodbeck.bsky.social ‘s story and experiences was really inspiring and made me want to start posting again. i’m excited to go into the job hunt parallel w my fellow 100devs! good luck Roxy can’t wait to join you in this experience :) we are all here for ya

So tired I just typed in "pit gush" to my terminal

Do you get excited about an idea for a web app, jump immediately into building it, and then realize the scope of your project and end up abandoning it? I hope my newest article can help you Avoid the Graveyard of Abandoned Projects™️ 🪦💀 raisadorzback.hashnode.dev/plan-before-...

I'm about to go live. Join me for some codewars and practice for technical interviews! www.twitch.tv/rai__bread

Just filed my taxes with CashApp, highly recommend. It's my second year using them. It's actually free, unlike TurboTax which claims to be free but really isn't lol

Today it is cold out (and inside) so I am wrapped in a blanket, editing my resume, and watching the #100Devs video about preparing for the hunt!

been working on a kanban board app- my first full stack app! using MongoDB, Node, and Express for backend and React & TailwindCSS for the front end. now that i have some backend knowledge i feel so POWERFUL mwahaha

started my day with anki flash cards in bed, my new routine. Luca on my lap, life is good

said i would take a break today and then when i saw npm’s maintenance was over i ended up hyperfixated on my project for hours. lol my back hurts but i made a lot of progress on my app

My first full stack app with vanilla Node--super simple, clicking the button sends an API request to my API which serves up heads or tails and its corresponding image! #100Devs

did day 1 of advent of code tn! it’s my first time doing it & i got to use the surface of my desk as a whiteboard to illustrate the task before i coded which was so fun. are any of yall participating? im rusty on python so i solved each part in both JS and Python

it’s set in that coding isn’t in the cards for tmm and i’m not happy about it. i’m not celebrating thanksgiving but i am using tmm to spend time with my mom. which will be fun don’t get me wrong, we’re gonna see wicked. but i wanna learn more node & work on my react app tmm lol. is it just me

started my morning with anki in bed on my phone lol i find it’s easier to do after i brush my teeth/wash my face and go back in bed. anki under the covers😂
