Felt good to unplug in the skin track today. I always do my best thinking when I’m physically exerting myself. The ideas flow, my creative energy is firing, and I can more easily take a step back and look at the big picture. Grateful for these opportunities 🙏🏼

As a 40-year-old bootcamp grad pivoting from the restaurant industry, it was pretty intimidating joining a team where everyone held CS degrees. But I realized that what I learned @Actualize was super relevant to my daily work and I began making valuable contributions quickly.

First year down as a professional software developer, many more to come! It’s been a grind trying to continually improve but I wouldn’t have it any other way. I love my work.

Jira sucks. My team is thinking about moving in a different direction for project management. We are a team of six devs utilizing Agile philosophies. Any suggestions for alternatives? What have y'all used that you've liked?
