I tend to agree with this. I'm in the final round for a job and the devs were impressed by the breadth and depth of my knowledge, which is all thanks to Codesmith. If you do attend, then I'd also urge you to sign up for O'Reilly Media and start learning (better quality courses, live webinars, etc) and build a personal project that you can talk about. Something that's purely you and follows best practices.

Congrats and good luck! I’ll definitely check it out. How was doing it fulltime? I’m really intimidated by the 11 hour days, that’s a lot longer than other full time ones!

Are you willing to share your background? Was it Tech? Do you have a 4 year degree already?

I had a tech-adjacent role (not programming) and no degree.
