My resolution this year is to spend $20,000 (Canadian) on travel. Most of it will be just going to a city and getting an Airbnb and working from there remotely. I've travelled a lot, but never really did any trips like that.
I currently teach high school English. There is a great deal about the job that feeds my soul, but my engagement with the work has shifted markedly over the last few years and is starting to impact my happiness, my optimism for life, and my ability to be the husband and father I know I am. I believe it’s time to do something else. Several conversations with tech folks lead me to believe that I would do very well in U…
Since a lot of tech work is still people work (communicating clearly, managing expectations, etc), I suspect you'd be a better candidate than someone straight out of college.
If anybody on here can provide advice or mentorship around [2], I would deeply appreciate it!
My goal for the next year is to do no mindless SoMe consumption, and instead create and market what i build, or relax or take a nap or whatever is the right thing to do, which is never instafacetok for 2 hours.
Professionally, I plan to further my side project with educational YouTube videos on algorithms and data structures, which brings me great joy.
As I'm in higher education, which has taken a huge COVID-19 hit (not sure I will get (much) better anytime soon), I'm considering whether it is worth pivoting into an industry career.
Happy new year!! Everyone. I want to finally get my first job as a developer. I have been trying to transition into tech for the past two years. I have been teaching general and advanced mathematics in high schools here in Nigeria. My goal will be to finally land a programming job in 2022. Anyone hiring or any senior looking to take a valuable junior under his belt I'm open to working, learning and adding great value…

Happy new year! - Find the pivot point from where I can move into a career of low level programming eventually. First stop is probably going to be a data engineer. - Find activities that both my boy and I enjoy. So far I haven't found many so I'm frustrated. Hopefully this improves this year as he grows up. - Maybe swim more? I really hate physical exercises but swimming is a rare exception.
> Find activities that both my boy and I enjoy. Do you want ideas? If so, how old's your boy and what have you tried?
- Riding snow sled;
- Reading books;
- Playing toys
I guess the real issue is on my side because I don't enjoy physical activities, while babies of this age typically need a lot of physical activities and "reading" is essentially just punching at the books and looking at the pictures, plus the books are pretty boring for any adult.

Hi Tolexx, I wrote a Twitter thread last year on how to get your first developer job - https://twitter.com/hrishio/status/1321389002273001473 I hope you find something useful in that.
