No Regrets for Our Youth

"To a watery palace of crystal bright

The knight on a sudden is taken" -Heinrich Heine, "Prologue" to the Lyrical Interlude, trans. Bowring.

After the fat years, the lean years. After the high tide, when the wave of fortune-seekers came to the Bay Area to make their fortune, the pandemic pulled many of them -of us!- back out to sea, and for all of 2021, the tide was out. Walk into a coworking space south of Market and see rows of empty desks, with one man at the desk in the corner, and that man making a personal phone call.

Jason leans forward in his desk chair at the Moryana office. Done with all his Thursday afternoon meetings, ready to go. Check email. Nothing that can't wait. Check Slack. Nothing that can't wait. He picks up his laptop, picks up his water bottle, and gets into the truck. He looks down: one text. "Love you, babe. Have fun tonight".

Parking is expensive as anything in this city, maybe the worst thing about San Francisco. He finally finds a spot in a garage, walks out, passes the bent-over men, almost folded in half from fentanyl, and enters the home of his coding bootcamp. Six floors up to the alumni lounge, and he takes the stairs.

From two floors down, he hears the music already: "Live a life of luxury, if that's what you want… Taste forbidden pleasures, whatever you want".

Talking to M., J., A., and the rest of them. Job here, marriage there. One beer, maybe a second. He looks out the window. It's already dark. Might be time for him to go.

He literally runs into someone standing by one of the bollards on the street. "Hey man, do you have a cigarette?". So happens, Jason does. "Hey, what's your name?" "Jason" "Ahmet".

The first puffs pass in silence. Ahmet speaks first: "What brings you South of Market?". "Alumni reunion for the coding bootcamp." "Coding? Where do you work? Facebook? Google?" "Moryana". Ahmet's looks up. "Moryana? You're not going to believe this…" And at that point, Ahmet tells him a story that Jason never expected to hear.

In Ahmet's telling, he was employee number 3 and the first engineer at Moryana. The salary was enough to live on -in fact, any current engineer at Moryana would make more-, but a large equity grant made up for it. But there came a point when they were working like crazy to get something in the hands of one of their biggest customers, at a time when Moryana really didn't have many customers at all. A disagreement about tactics escalated, and there might have been some interpersonal stuff that got in the way, too. (At least, Jason guesses as much from Ahmet's narrative. Ahmet, understandably wasn't too forthcoming about the personal details.) He lasted about three years and then moved on to the next seed-stage startup. The telling of Ahmet's story takes the two of them south, into the Mission.

Climbing up the grass in Dolores Park, and a man standing by a tree sees them and waves them over. He is short, shorter than Jason, shorter than Ahmet, too, although not by much. His hair is short and spiky and looks bleached, and there's a strange look in his eyes. The stranger holds out his hand, and there's something in it. "Do you want any of this?" "What is it?" "Heart's desire. Hey, what's your name?" "Ahmet". "Jason". "Call it golden fleece, then!" "Original". "What's your name? 'Heart's desire', where are you from?" The man smiles. "My name wouldn't mean anything to you. I come from the place where you don't grow old", and Jason thinks that with hair like his, he really wouldn't look out of place in LA. He opens his hand, revealing what looks like a pill, and the blonde man says " What do you say? Let me ask you: do you ever have dreams these days?" Jason looks over at Ahmet, and Ahmet seems pretty intent on the pill in the stranger's hand. Jason looks down at his phone, remembers he's supposed to take his daughter out this weekend. The moment passes. He raises his eyebrows, and shakes his head. "You stay, if you want. Nice meeting you!"

Friday morning, he gets in the truck, turns on the radio on the way to work. Dead body south of Market, stabbed and bled out, and, although Jason can't remember where he heard this and he doesn't think it was in the police report, the dead man was supposed to have been a very early employee at Moryana.

Week 12

I was so caught up this week about when to buy groceries and how much.  I do not want to be a hoarder, but I also do not know how bad this will get.  I want to ensure everyone gets their share and imagined an old person not being able to survive because I bought an extra box of something I did not need immediately.

I am taking these precautions seriously.  I went out last week two times to the track by me and it felt like I had not been out in forever.  It was such a treat!  Then, I got paranoid by all the runners who wanted to speed past in the lane RIGHT next to me as if it were not a bunch of other lanes next to me! 

I opted for the neighborhood and found I live so close to this beautiful hiking trail!  One of my roommates told me about it but I ignored him at the time.  I’m walking down streets in my neighborhood I never have and realizing it is so beautiful!  I always knew it was, but I was seeing even MORE beauty, as I ignored the stares from white folks coming out of their large expensive Victorians.  The entitlement to just stare longer than what is polite and appropriate with no apology.

I did not finish my project last week as I expected, but I am damn there finished.  I am much more focused this week.  Staying productive and ensuring that I am using my work to honor God is keeping my mind off this virus that is changing life as we know it.  I was asked for my preference of other teams I would like to join in the case that mine is not available after my internship ends.  None of the teams I selected were, but was set up to chat with a female manager of a Data Analytics & Insights team and the data engineering manager I have a relationship with.  The same one that offered me a data analysis position on his team when he doubted the bootcamp working.  It is such a blessing when being faithful proves people wrong.  I was just grateful that he was there volunteering to take me in in a time where I may need him.  I pray I get to stay on my team, heck at my company, but I am grateful that he signed up to take me on in the case that my team cannot.

My manager introduced the intern that will be starting in May.  Black kid.  I was happy that we are hiring Black engineers.  I was slightly jealous that he will have a spot on the team and I may not.  I’m human.  I checked that quickly though, added him on LinkedIn, welcomed him on the team, and answered his questions about what I liked the most about my company.  I asked him what he was excited for and wished him the best.  He ain’t in the way of my next position.  Aint no need for me to get salty.  This aint the end for me either.  I am hopeful that we will be working together.

I am staying encouraged. I can still get paid, I have a beautiful neighborhood to exercise in, I am improving my health, I do not need a standing desk, I do not need the weight system that is sold out on line, I have a beautiful room with plenty of sunlight, I have roommates that are respecting the request to stay inside, and I am grateful that I saved my money for times of famine JUST like these.  This all came from a prayerful life in Christ and I am grateful.

My dad asked me to write his resume.  I felt hurt that he was asking me to help him when he wouldn’t do what I wanted him to do to free me from the pain lingering from childhood which was to apologize for what I detailed a few weeks ago.  I did not even mention that I had to update my resume because I was looking for a job too.  I just complied.  I am not fighting it anymore.

My grandfather was admitted into the hospital for pneumonia.  This is horrible news as he is almost 80 and struggles with dialysis.  He has had bad health for a while and I got nervous. I was especially nervous that my mom was with him, but she is a very selfless person.  I pray that he is alright.  My mom got everyone on a call: her brother and sisters, her sister’s kids, my little brother, and me.  It was mainly a dialogue between my uncle and my grandfather, but it was great to hear their back and forth.  My uncle is a goofball, always has been, and was the problem child.  It reminded me of where I want to be with my sibling: talking.  I have not heard from my brother since I shot him a text a few weeks ago, “Would you have gone to New York if I was going too?”

I’ll take that as a, “No.”  Still, I wish he didn’t straight up ignore me.  I feel myself getting angry again, but he does not know.  Like my uncle, who is struggling with bad kids after being a bad kid, maybe my brother will have someone treat him the way he treats me and recognize he was wrong.  I do not wish that on him, but I feel that is the only way he will see that this is wrong.  I do not think anyone is telling him at the moment and maybe, like my roommate said, this is the best way he is handling the situation.

My acne is improving.  After a phone consultation with my esthetician, I confirmed my suspicion that I was probably breaking out because I stopped using my acne meds. I thought it was crazy that it had gotten so bad in just 2 days.  She told me that I could not stop using the benzoyl peroxide or that it would come back even more.  I do not like being told I HAVE to depend on chemicals.  I want to improve my acne without dependence.  Diet is not all.  I guess maybe after this is over my face will look more like my diet: clean.

I hope to focus on all the positives of this quarantine: 

We have learned a new way of living.

I can still collect a check.

I’m vegan now!  It’s great!

I have lost a lot and gained muscle tone.

I work out more frequently.

I get 8 hours of sleep.

I feel no pressure of hanging out with people when I would rather stay at home.

I am recognizing the beauty in my neighborhood.

I am completing my project in the best way I can because I WANT to get it done.

I am recognizing the beauty of my neighborhood and home workouts and recognizing that I PROBABLY do not need a gym membership anymore...

I am improving my relationship with my parents.

I am saving money and time by not using ride sharing.

I CAN cook my meals and be satiated by them.  I do not have to order out.

I am learning how to breathe better.

I am learning I CAN code from home on one screen and do not need three monitors and an extra keyboard.

My friends are checking in on me and me on them.

I learned how to properly wash my hands.

I know who my real friends are.

I am proving that I will not give up.

I can use natural hair products that do not break me out.

God is and continues to be all that I need.

What Is Machine Learning And Its Importance?

Machine learning powers many of the services we use today including top search engines like Google and social media sites like Facebook and Twitter. Machine learning algorithms are responsible for the majority of AI advancements. So what is it exactly? In simper terms, it is a science of getting a computer to act like a human. So when a system or computer is designed with machine learning, it will learn to analyze, identify and change according to the new data presented to give the expected output without any need for humans.

Why is machine learning so powerful?

It’s ability to self-identify and analyze new patterns lies in the powerful and complex ‘pattern recognition’ algorithms that guide it to look for particular data amidst an ocean of information. That is the reason the demand for machine learning programmers and AI is growing every year. There are various Machine Learning Training camps in California that get you hired by Best Training Companies.

How Machine Learning works?

The process of learning happens in five major steps:

Gathering the data from various sources in different formats and types is the first step. This also includes feeding the collected data to the system in form of work document, excel sheets or text files.

Data preparation is next where all the inputs are checked to filter out any unwanted data. This also includes resolving errors or checking for missing information.

Now the filtered data is used to create the model

The model is now evaluated for accuracy

Finally the model data is fed to the machine to suit different types of data that is presented together

Machine learning is used in various aspects of our lives these days like: speech recognition, image recognition, financial services, online sales, health services etc.

The importance of Machine Learning

One of the reasons why Machine Learning Training camps in California and the Best Training Companies are focusing on AI is that it has several practical applications that have the potential to dramatically impact the future of any organization. Machine learning automates tasks that otherwise would need to be performed by a live agent that frees up valuable time.

As new data is provided, the AI model’s efficiency and accuracy also improves affecting the overall decision making process. You can easily handle a large amount of data using machine learning algorithms that would otherwise be physically impossible to handle. Machine learning can do wonders and its growing popularity is a sign that learning it could be a career defining moment for budding developers. So if you are looking for Machine Learning Training centers in California to get hired by Best Training Companies, you can sign up with SynergisticIT best coding bootcamp as we provide beginners to advanced level training modules and known as SynergisticIT – Best Programmers in the Bay Area….Period!

How can I make more money like you?

An important question!!

So to start with, I am not a person who has Figured Things Out. I got lucky last year - my friend recommended me for a job in a very high-wage area (specifically, San Francisco’s tech industry) that I happened to be a really good fit for, and that happened to be willing to hire people on a trial basis if they were promising, even if they didn’t have college degrees (’cause I still don’t have one). And that was really good for a while, until some stuff happened and I kinda got eaten. Now I’m unemployed and looking for another job; I think I’ll find something comparatively good again, but I dunno how long it’ll be, and right now I’m looking at both moderately high-paying content-writing jobs and jobs that pay around minimum wage (which is a lot here; nothing pays less than $15 because the bay is lowkey insane), in case getting another really good job takes longer than I’d like it to.

But anyway! Obviously there isn’t a super easy way to make lots of money that’s going to apply to every anon who could possibly have shown up in my inbox, but here are some general pointers:

1) Even if things are going really well for you, you’re gonna tend to make less than most people while you’re early in your career. This is difficult but how it is. It doesn’t mean you’re doing anything wrong, and you might be on track for a great career in a few more years, once you gain more experience. If this is where you’re at, I think the best way to make more money is to work on leveling up at your current job, or looking for a different job of the same kind that either pays better now or will probably allow you to level up faster. It’s good to take on extra responsibilities when you have the time and energy to do so, especially if they use a lot of skills you do have, but also a few skills that you’ll need to figure out as you go along. 

Note that I do think that this advice is less actionable outside of the bay (which is full of startups that are growing rapidly and trying new things). I do think there’s still something to it. If you gain skills and responsibilities as well as you can, I think that even if your current job doesn’t recognize that and reward it, you’ll be building up skills that’ll make you more desirable the next time you change jobs.

2) Say you think you’re in a really good industry, and you know that other people in your industry make decent money, but for some reason, you’re not. Or, alternatively, say that you have a lot of skills and some work experience in a decent industry, but you can’t get anyone to call you back, and you’re beginning to wonder if maybe you’re secretly terrible and have zero Good Employee Qualities.

Getting a new job is hard, and leaving an old job is scary. I know; I just left my old job, and I spend lots of time being scared that nobody’s gonna hire me and I’m gonna have to go back to working at Kroger again, where I only made it through cashiering shifts by imagining that my characters were being tortured and that I could only save them by making it to the end of the next hour. 

But it really does pay to look at what else is out there. You can get some ideas by very casually looking at job sites like Glassdoor or Indeed; there might be nothing, or a bunch of job postings that you don’t understand, but I’ve found that it’s often good to get the lay of the land and figure out what recruiters are looking for in your industry. If you want better odds, and you have some successful friends, it can pay to ask them whether their companies are hiring for a position you can fill, and whether any of them might like to recommend you for it.

If you don’t have an easy way to get your foot in the door, you’re gonna be filling out a lot of applications. This sucks, but it doesn’t mean that you suck. If you really feel like you’re qualified for the sort of job you want, get someone to help you put together a good resume that shows off your skills, put together a portfolio or similar if you’re in the relevant industries, and resign yourself to applying to dozens or maybe hundreds of things. Recruiters are super arbitrary and will totally disqualify you based on things that have nothing to do with your ability to do the job. (This isn’t even because they’re bad people, it’s because they have a stack of resumes on their desk and have only the faintest idea how to tell which of the associated candidates are gonna be good at things.) It’s a numbers game. If you’re not doing something really ridiculous, like applying to every job with a resume that only lists completely unrelated kinds of work experience, then someone’ll probably talk to you eventually. It’ll just probably take way more applications than you’d think.

(Oh, also, all of the requirements in job postings tend to be pretty silly; as long as you think you’re genuinely capable of doing the work, I think you should apply to jobs where you meet maybe 75% of the stated requirements if the job sounds OK, and maybe 50% if it’s something you’d be really excited to get to do.)

3) If you’re not in a career sort of job at all - if you’re stuck behind the counter at Wendy’s right now, in which case my heart goes out to you, anon friend - or you’ve found yourself in a career that pays very badly or makes you unhappy, and you don’t think your skills will translate to anything you like doing, then you might want to look at changing careers entirely. Most people will tell you to go to college, if you haven’t already. I’m gonna tell you that college is a great thing for lots of people, but not always a good idea financially, and not always the best way forward, especially if you’re not very academically inclined. 

Think about what you’re good at, and think about what your dealbreakers are. You’re approaching this from thinking about money, not about passion, but you still don’t want to end up in a job that you’re a terrible fit for; you’ll get fired or be miserable all the time, and that’s no good for anyone. 

As a first line, if you feel that you’re reasonably flexible and talented, here are some very different jobs that make good money; you might want to consider whether you’re a good fit for any of these, and do more research as appropriate. (This is largely an exercise to get you thinking, not to say that these specific jobs are the ones you should definitely be looking at.)- Nursing. There’s a perpetual shortage of nurses, they have to exist everywhere in the country, and they make at least decent pay no matter where they live. For an RN, you’re looking at an average of about $55k per year in the cheapest states, and about $90k per year in the most expensive ones (although remember that this isn’t what you’ll make at the beginning of your career). I don’t recommend it if you really dislike people, long hours, college classes, heavy lifting, or bodily fluids, but I do think it’s a career that a lot more people should be willing to consider. If you think you can hack the education part, but not so much the heavy lifting, the bodily fluids, or the being around people who might be dying, dental hygienists make about the same amount, and their patients hardly ever need to be carried anywhere while possibly dying. I think.

- Software engineering. The pay rate here is kind of insane; if you have the interest and aptitude, then doing a coding bootcamp and getting a programming job in either NYC or San Francisco is a relatively attainable way of making a genuinely six-figure salary within a few years of starting, even if you don’t have a college degree. It’s not for everyone - I’ve tried to learn, a little, but I’ve bounced off pretty hard so far - but it’s a great opportunity for people who can hack it, so to speak. Like nursing, there’s a shortage here, mostly because software is a rapidly expanding industry that has only existed for, like, forty years tops.

- The skilled trades. We’re talking about electricians, mechanics, plumbers, carpenters, and other people in this space. It’s hard in different ways than an office job, but there are a lot of people who these are a good fit for. While they’re not as highly paid as nurses or engineers, people in the skilled trades do OK; reaching $50k per year is totally feasible, and people who are both skilled and lucky can break $80k. These jobs tend to go by apprenticeship systems, so if you don’t have a family member or friend to vouch for you, it’s a good idea to look at trade schools in your area to get you started, and then expect to spend several years in a junior position until you know what’s what.

- Flight Attendants. Not all flight attendants are particularly well-paid, but many are, and things like waitressing can be counted as relevant experience. The first flight attendant job I found on Indeed just now is $18 an hour and doesn’t require any experience or a degree, though the requirements do have a lot to say about your appearance, height (gotta be able to get luggage out of the overhead compartments, after all), and willingness to work really weird hours. The BLS reports that the median flight attendant ultimately makes about $56k per year. 

- Police officers. Obviously there are a ton of very legit reasons not to want to be a police officer, but I am of the opinion that someone’s gotta do it, and it’s better if the people involved wanna do it right, right? (I guess I don’t know if you want to do it right. Please don’t become a police officer purely for the money and then shoot someone, anon.) The median police officer makes about $60k, and it doesn’t require a college education, which is honestly a pretty good deal even if you’re not as passionate as Judy Hopps. I don’t recommend it as a job unless you’re not scared of people, even the creepy ones, ‘cause scared people make mistakes, and when police officers make mistakes, sometimes people end up dead.

If you read that list and were like, “Bard, there’s a reason I’m at Wendy’s, can you lower your expectations here a little,” you might want to look into stuff like warehousing, groundskeeping, janitorial work, sales, garbage collection, or construction work. Job sites are your friends; it’s useful to browse them and see what sorts of jobs pay the kinds of salaries you’re looking for. I also think you might be well-served by considering whether you can move in with friends or family in a part of the country where wages are higher. The big cost of living difference in other places is rent, so if you have a housing situation figured out or can split that cost with a friend, you can make a lot more money just by doing the same thing somewhere else. For example, before I got super lucky and became a Real Content Writer, my plan was to hang out on my friend’s couch for six months rent-free, work at some supermarket in SF, and then take my wages back home to Indiana to pay for the rest of my degree. And honestly, if I hadn’t fallen in love with this ridiculous place and hadn’t immediately gotten a much better job, I think it very well might have worked.

There’s a lot more that I could say here, but this is already pretty long. The main things are to think about where you’re headed, to look around at all of the different possible lucrative directions to head in if you don’t like where you are, and to figure out what steps you’d have to take to get there. You’re welcome to come to my inbox with more questions about this - my last job was all about helping people find jobs themselves, so I guess I should know something about it by now - but you might need to be a little more specific if I didn’t hit on the thing you’re stuck on in this post.

So, it is not easy to become a Full Stack Developer. Fortunately, many resources like online courses, free sessions, and boot camps are available to get upskilled in Full Stack development. If you are also thinking of joining the Best MERN Stack Training in Bay Area, let’s guide you. This blog entails all the necessary information to launch a Full Stack Developer career.

What is Full Stack Development?

Before jumping onto what a Full Stack developer does, it is crucial to understand web development. There are two core components in web development; the frontend and backend. The former includes everything related to what a user interacts with, like UI, designs, graphics, and programming, so the role of a frontend developer is to design a user-friendly interface and work on the look and feel of a website. Whereas, the latter is related to a website’s server-side, covering all behind-the-scenes elements like APIs, backend logic, servers, and databases.

A Full Stack Developer is one who is proficient in both frontend and backend development of a website. Being a Full Stack professional, you need to have a wide variety of skills to manage, build, and improve databases, libraries, server-side operating systems, frameworks, UX design, etc. The profound skills and knowledge of Full Stack developers allow them to move smoothly between the backend and frontend development. For this reason, companies look for skilled Full Stack Developers who can build robust websites and applications.

There is endless scope for qualified Full Stack developers, so getting upskilled in the Best MERN Stack Training in Bay Area can be a lucrative career move.

Roles and Responsibilities of a Full Stack Developer

As a Full Stack Developer, you need to be a master of all traits and wear multiple hats. Below are the key responsibilities of Full Stack developers:

Must-Have Skills for a Full Stack Developer Job

You need to have extensive knowledge of a variety of skills to become a Full Stack Developer, such as:

HTML: It is the basic and most important skill that Full Stack developers must possess, as without HTML, an application or website wouldn’t have a user interface and the internet cannot navigate it.

CSS: If it is indispensable to have HTML knowledge for placing and structuring objects, CSS knowledge is needed to make an application aesthetically appealing.

ReactJS: Full Stack developers should be skilled in using ReactJS. It enables developers to reuse UI components and build large web apps that can change data without reloading the page.

jQuery: It streamlines common actions which usually take long time to code like document traversing, HTML event handling, and Ajax animation. Thereby, saving time of Full Stack Developers and help them focus on web development issues.

Node.js. Developers can run JavaScript code through Node.js before deploying it to a web browser.

Python: Python is widely used for building web applications, data analysis, and task automation. It is crucial for Full Stack developers to be fluent in Python programming language.

SQL: It is another programming language used for organizing data in a relational data management system (DMS). Full Stack developers utilize SQL to retrieve, modify, or store server data.

Attention to detail: Full Stack Developers must have a keen eye for detailing so they can identify mistakes within a framework, and rogue lines of code, and determine where the backend and frontend of an application are failing to communicate.

Effective Communication: Full-stack developers need to collaborate with stakeholders, designers, and other developers. Thus, it is crucial for them to have strong communication skills to ensure everything is going as per the plan.

Week 7

The number of completion.  Well, I felt a little less complete this week.

It started with a talk with my mentor.  He was pressing me, for an 8th time it felt, to do my tech spec over again.  It had been 6 weeks going on 7 and I had yet to do ANY coding on the project that will be used to determine if I stay at Lyft or go.  It was this and the fact that I had spent three weeks on it and sacrificed the three day weekend before this week to work on it, with minimal direction.  It was like I was trying to hit a moving target I couldn’t see and equipped with improper ammo.  This was what caught me up in previous roles: not having a defined set of expectations from my manager left me vulnerable, as my manager consistently moved the target every time I checked in.  If it is not written down or explicit, we’re all left guessing, only the manager has the upper hand and does not experience any adverse effects when they cannot remember or did not know the target they wanted when you first embarked on the assignment.  Work is NOT only about your skill, it’s about your strategy, even with the people on your team and the people who are supposed to be your supporters and advocates.

Anyway, I kind of shook the table and wanted to ensure I got the coding experience.  I said, “I just want to make sure we’re not letting perfect be the enemy of good here.  I haven’t coded for this project in more than 6 weeks.”  I was feeling insecure about my job because every time I would get questions from my manager on how confident I felt with writing code, I did not have an answer, because I damn sure was not going to say, “I don’t feel confident at all.”  I didn’t want to blow my mentor’s spot either by saying that I had been instructed not to code until the tech spec was done.  My mentor’s advice: spec it out completely, then, once the spec is complete, there’s minimal need to go back to the drawing board because you hit a place in your code where you need to rewrite things because you didn’t forsee a pothole.  I agree, but damn, all through my internship, I was instructed by my Apprenticeship manager who had more than double my mentor’s experience and has actually managed engineers, to spec a bit, then code, spec some more, then code again.  Basically, have a good balance, because tech specing when you’re a NOOB and don’t know what you don’t know or what the heck your mentor’s looking for, is difficult.  Also, he hadn’t read my tech spec until week 3, despite me asking him to and tagging him in it.  It felt like he was prioritizing his work and overcompensating with suggesting frivolous style changes in the spec.  

I also felt the pressure from all my engineering colleagues not on my team who would respond, “Damn, still!” when I told them I hadn’t done any coding for my project yet.

His response in our chat: don’t worry, I’ll do it.  It felt hella passive aggressive.  I said, “No it’s fine I can do it, I just want to make sure we don’t get caught up in specing.”  

I did not want to look like I was downright disagreeing with him, but I am glad I spoke up.  I also did not want it to get around that he had to step in and do the teching!  They wouldn’t ask why and expose his shortcomings in direction, they would just look to me and be like, “She couldn’t even spec it out solo?”  My mentor catches an attitude quickly though with me for the most frivolous things and seems to be more emotional and sensitive than me, so every time I notice, I immediately stop and check in to clear the air.  I pulled him aside and into a room and explained more of where I was coming from.  This was risky, but the reward was him admitting that he’s let tech specing go on too long and that he did not timebox this project as well as he should.  He said that he believed I got what I was supposed to get out of the project and that I could start coding tomorrow.  That was all I wanted.  I just wanted to hear him be accountable instead of throwing it all on me.  He insisted again to wrap it up, but I insisted that I really wanted to “deliver” on this (stupid overused tech term).

Here are some more tech buzz words that grind my gears: 

backchannel: to assess a candidate’s team-working abilities, skills, but actually turns into asking friends who have worked with a candidate if they like them or not and fit in to their stupid hangout group

sync: to have a meeting that often times could have just been an email

diversity/minority: everyone non-Black and non-male, despite them being the majority

deep dive: analysis

Anyway, getting back to the week, I was not looking forward to our sprint planning meeting that day where we go over what was completed in the previous week, because I thought I didn’t do much.  However, I had a ton of tickets completed that I just forgot about.  I thought my mentor would bring up in our sprint the conversation we had or that the tech spec was spilling over into a week it wasn’t, but he didn’t.  That felt good that he was not exposing me.  I now realize that it probably would have looked not so great on him either, but previous teams and managers I have worked with would not give a flying f about me.  He wants me to get this and he’s vocalized that he will do everything he can in his power to make that happen.

The next day, I had a pairing with an engineer who interviewed me, mentored my mentor, and influenced me to pick my mentor.  This did not make my mentor happy when he saw him at my desk ready to help me code, but it was like damn, I’m not getting the support from you, so I’m going to get it somewhere.  Mentors are supposed to spend 20% of their time with us.  That’s a bit over 3 hours a day.  3! I have been getting significantly less than that.

Anyway, the pairing was great, as I expected.  I had so much trepidation around coding because no one walked me through the code base.  With as messy as some code bases are at my job, you need someone more senior or at least someone who has a general understanding of what the heck is going on or why code is structured in a way it is so that it is plain to someone who doesn’t know up from down.  He prefaced our session with, “has anyone broke this down to you yet?”  Answer: “No”.  I wanted my real answer to be, “HECK NO!,” but my mentor was in my peripheral.  We got a working endpoint in the service and I started throwing requests at it and receiving responses.

I was so exhausted by it all, all the other useless meetings, and to be honest, did not feel totally confident on what my next step was.  I got nothing else completed that day, but I did work out.  I also got caught in conversation with my work crush.  I spotted him and acted like I didn’t see him across the room as I tried to get my mind right before he shut it off by just being absolutely attractive.  I wonder if he knows I’m crushing on him hard.  His first words, “Why are you so late!?  We don’t hang out anymore!  Are we even still friends. [To the guy I was speaking to] Sorry to interrupt, I just haven’t seen her in a while.”  I like him so much and have been let down by so many dudes I thought were down, that I couldn’t tell if he was being genuine or only saying this because he KNOWS how much I like him...We had our usual convo topics: autonomous vehicle ops, our former colleague who is now starting his own business with friends and only hiring people of diverse ethnicities, the Black ERGs, house-buying aspirations.  This time however, he said he would invite me if he was out and about in the neighborhood.  

There was more of the same the next day, minus the giddy run-ins with my work crush.  

Finally, on Friday, right at the end of the day, I get some dick picks to my celly from a dude I reached out to to have sex with to try to forget about the pain of being kicked to the curb by my colleague who was the first person I had ever had intercourse with, and subsequently his best friend who I slept with out of revenge.  I was so exhausted and now distracted as someone has sent me a reminder of my urge for connection with a male I’m attracted to, totally disregarding whatever work I had going on.  Before my mentor caught his train, I asked him for help and direction before the weekend because he had not checked back in since Monday, but all the while he was talking, I kept think about this dude’s perfectly shaved, long Black penis.  My mentor’s lips were just moving.  He was getting frustrated.  I was losing hope.  

I ended the night with a colleague who likes me and has told me for years but knows nothing about being gentle to a woman and is a huge nerd.  I was desperate and trying to avenge the dick pic I received from LA, so I skipped my planned workout to eat HIS choice place: pizza...AGAIN.  Of course we ended the night arguing over text for some backwards ass male point of view of his and disrespect towards me.  This time: he pushed me playfully after I criticizing him for not knowing how to hug me properly, but so he was so nervous and it was so hard it took the wind out of me. That night he screenshotted a pic where my hair was curly, and despite me telling him that I had a whole crises this week about shaving my hair to save time (and because of the recent news of the class action lawsuit agains the Deva Curl hair products I use), said that I should have that hair because he didn’t like my two strand twists I had today.  Every time we hang out, and sometimes even at work, he criticizes my clothes and hair.  Sorry, he doesn’t criticize them, he is downright disrespectful and will ask, “What are you wearing!” and “I don’t like that.”  As if I am dressing for him.  I did not call him out the other times, but I did this time.  I do not give a damn what you think, but I am not one of your male friends. I am a woman.  Talk to me nice. I know he’s only saying these things because he feels so inadequate and awkward and knows I look at him as nothing more than a friend.  He keeps coming around and I keep trying to be forgiving, but I really gotta ignore these stupid ass people...for my sanity...

In better news this week: one of the Black women I recommended a role for has an onsite next week!  I am glad I worked out more days this week than last and I was recognized in the biweekly team meeting (another damn meeting) for writing a great tech spec.  I am glad my mentor pushed me and I am glad I pushed him.  Going to try harder next week.

Saturday, I was committed.  I woke up, went to the dentist, kept my calm when my dentist roughly yanked out my temporary crown, only to replace it with another temp with the crown’s color was wrong, hit the weights in the gym, ate healthily, then caught up on some work.  I spent all day doing my midpoint reflection.  Thank God for the documentation I have been doing and the feedback my Apprenticeship manager created that served as my template for my internship midpoint performance review.  After doing a “deep dive”, I realized I actually HAVE been working my ass off.  Despite me not writing as much code as I think I should be, every meeting I attend and present in counts, every shadowing session, every piece of documentation I contribute to, every expression of curiosity and wanting to learn and do more COUNTS!  

Here’s an excerpt: “My team manages the tools that serve the company as the #1 demand levers.  Those levers include dropping incentives like ride passes and coupons on users.  I have done one of those coupon drops that was distributed to 40M users in the US and Canada.  After that coupon drop, to help onboard 4 other new team members to this task, I updated our weekly Personalization Coupon Drop documentation.  I have written the tech spec for and created a working endpoint that will facilitate the system that supports the delivery of the newest incentive we are offering.  I proposed my internship project to my team and PMs across the Growth org at our Fortnightly review.  Contributing to team operations and productivity, I led one of our team's Bi-Weekly Retros.  To save the company money and lower bad user experiences and incidents, I added a fix in our team's service, coupons, to prevent coupon currency mismatches.  I have made one of my team's services (coupons) easier to iterate on by removing confusing code for coupon claiming validations.  To ensure we are flexible to the company’s new contra revenue definition, I have made new coupons and coupon groups that enables us to have more efficient growth spend.  I have reviewed 6 PRs for my team.”  

Reflections like these help. I feel inspired and ready to do more.  I thank God for the strength and opportunity to honor him with my work.

Some things I have switched up that help me focus:

I’m more forgiving nowadays.  No time to stress over hurt for too long.  When you know you’re blessed, it’s hard to worry about the not so great things.  They just won’t add up to be significant enough to even waste time on discussing.

I lost my headphones.  Instead of replacing them, I just don’t use them anymore.  This has caused me to read more on my commutes and be more aware of my surroundings.

I volunteer and say yes to a lot, even when I think I cannot complete it.  The #ToiletPapers were an example.  I didn’t think I’d have the time, but I made it work because it was important to me and it ended up taking less time than I thought.  It also helped me get the message out about Black History in yet another format at work.

I have stopped eating meat as much.  I’m losing weight, I feel lighter, I feel like I’m being better to the environment.  I eat less, and thus am less stressed about eating constantly.

I drink more water.

A best friend stopped texting me.  I was let down a bit, but it’s freed me up a bit and I have one less voice of influence in my head.  

I stopped caring so much about needing to have defined curls in my head.
