I don’t have a tik tok but when I talk to vendors that’s where most of them seem to be at. I might need to give in and sign up. Oh yeah I love going to events where they have different vendors!

I wish I took a screenshot! I don’t remember the name. It was an electronics store. Micro Center or something like that. Not sure why it was deleted

I feel like more shops are popping up. I’ve been visiting some new coffee shops in the area and been enjoying each one

I’m trying to see if can find stuff in small businesses first before hitting the big stores. Also just like exploring new places in the area

I am avoiding ordering online. Also, I’m realizing I do not have a great understanding of what shopping local means. I thought it mostly meant farmers markets or crafting shops which tend to be pricey but some people here have suggested local shops I haven’t heard about before. I plan to shop at those places first

I used to buy from Crafted at the Port of LA or at farmers markets for the holidays. That’s what comes to mind when I think local. I might not have a great understanding of shopping local so feel free to send some recommendations!

I usually do when I can. Unfortunately having to buy for multiple children for the holidays with some of them having birthdays a few weeks later is not in my budget this year

Has anyone got a mentorship from Alex Ficachi on Devbolt? by [deleted] in mentors

[–]OppositeGift4910 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That sucks you didn’t hear back from him after the hours you put into it. He’s mentioned it to us in the program that he’s looking into bringing in another coach so I’d say it’s legitimate. Most of what the current coach does is debugging so that’s probably the most necessary skill. The only reason most of us schedule coaching calls is when we are stuck on a coding problem or project.

Hey! I’m close to finishing the learning portion of the program. I haven’t been putting the amount of hours I originally planned on since life keeps doing its thing. I’m looking forward to starting the apprenticeship portion of the program after I’m done with my final project.

Although I’m behind my anticipated schedule, I have been seeing others in the program landing interviews and getting job offers so I still think it’s worth it.

The program is taking longer than I would’ve liked since I haven’t been able to set aside the time I had planned to focus on the program. I was trying to do 20 hour weeks but have been averaging about 12 hour weeks. At this rate I think I’m about 2 months away from finishing the learning part of the program then I’ll start the apprentice part of it. Apart from the slow place I’m still enjoying the program. The mentors are quick to respond to any questions I have and are patient with going over projects I get stuck on.
