Hey all, How is it going? I am listening to the book Essentialism by Greg McKeown. I’ve been spreading myself thin lately. Saying yes to too many things. It wasn’t an issue before I had a kid because I had the time. Now with work, trying to run a startup and being a mom, I can’t say yes like I could before. I also end up giving more than I receive. I need to find a balance. The book has some good tips on setting boundaries and applying more selective criteria for what I choose to work on. With work, learning and other things you have going on in your life, if you are also struggling like me, I recommend the book. -Veni

How I went from stay-at-home-mum to landing my first web developer job
Two years ago I completed my first exercise on “Say Hello to HTML Elements” on freeCodeCamp (FCC). After two years of self-study, aged 36, I accepted my first job offer as a JavaScript Frontend Developer. I want to share some advice and tips and tell how I managed to land my first job. - Phoebe Voong-Fadel

If you are an underrepresented person in tech and are able to do so, talk about your work so loudly and so consistently that people say you’re arrogant or full of yourself or bragging. And then keep going. Because anything less than that, you will not get the credit you deserve.
