su's codeblr

I've been on tumblr for ages, but I decided to create this blog to document my progress with learning web dev!

About me:

I'm 25, mexican-american, and I have an orange cat 🐱 (hence the avi, although I'm well aware it looks more like a fox lol)

I really struggle with undiagnosed adhd, so sometimes I'll get in ruts that last anywhere from a couple of days to a couple of months :(

I have a biochemistry degree but never used it because I thought I wanted to be a pharmacist lmao

Used to be a teacher but fuck that fr (me and the US dept. of education have beef)

I'm currently enrolled part time in a full-stack coding bootcamp

Javascript

node.js/express.js/handlebars.js

i haven't posted in so long. so much has changed yet everything is the same.

long time, no write! (big surprise lol)

i had a class on monday in which our instructor had Ada Lovelace as a placeholder name for one of our activities. he explained who she was, and concluded with "so the first ever programmer... was a female".

"a female" ??

even the women who are first in their fields are reduced down to just their sex.

i've been quite unproductive since last friday. i've tried to give myself a proper rest from my coursework so that i can be mentally refreshed for the last home stretch of the bootcamp. i started messing with figma last friday and wow that's a whole new world i entered lol. i'm feeling kinda emo, so bare with me:
