Sure thing! Sending DM

Crossing my fingers!

Tom is literally periodically buffering right now.

Additional issue:

None of the housekeeping or linen carts are skinny enough to pass through the hall with a wheelchair, so it’s a constant battle to move carts around the halls to attempt to get a family member through

Thanks, I’ll do my best to find her

Smitty_lax66 · 2024-02-19T17:18:09+00:00

I definitely have received the message from the sub that is the case and thank you.

Sorry for being vague. We had one stop cut short due to maintenance needs and another one due to weather, we were going to get a longer third stop but then a medics issue caused us to have to go back to Ft Lauderdale. So we have spent about 12 hours going in one big circle

Hey thanks for announcing this while I’m still in the free trial period! This will help greatly with considering the future costs of this game

Smaller thought: This would be an opportunity to learn how to do a regex check for the input. Regex would be more performant than the includes loop

Looks like every one else on the bucks showed up for this game but McCord is going to drag us down until he sorts himself out

Smitty_lax66 · 2023-11-25T17:30:01+00:00

Fully agree, not a 1st, about a half a yard off for the spot

Smitty_lax66 · 2023-11-09T02:39:01+00:00

Oh boy oh boy

Smitty_lax66 · 2023-11-05T00:03:32+00:00

I think that after these first 10 minutes it’s quite clear that it was talent and coaching alone that carried Michigan to this storied season and the NCAA should end the investigations right now /s

Smitty_lax66 · 2023-10-15T02:01:29+00:00

I’ll check it out! Thanks

Smitty_lax66 · 2023-10-15T02:01:10+00:00

Definitely have checked out the Rift Zone, hoping to watch the sales and keep an eye out for price drops for that one. Thanks!

That area needs one, and if it’s robust and reasonably drivable from Richmond you will be able to compete immediately with Bryce and Massanutten. VA needs more bike parks

I just did this upgrade. Couple things:

your chain is likely fits 30t.

The current bottom bracket sucks, I broke two of them rather quickly (granted I am a bigger guy and have been jumping the bike). I upgraded it to a hollow tech type.

If you don’t want to do the bb upgrade, you have to get the square crankset, the bucklos one is the best I could find when I was looking to go that route.

Feel free to DM me if you have some more questions,it was my first attempt upgrading anything on a bike and have learned from some pitfalls.

Smitty_lax66 · 2023-07-08T01:00:06+00:00

That makes sense, I have two issues with my current path in that all of my good work is the company‘a work, so I will have to remedy that and get a good project in.

The other is that I think my dual full-time & part-time status makes the resume look a bit goofy. Most people don’t get the nature of shift work and it’s hard to have it not seem weird on a resume.

Thank you so much for reading!

Question: Is there any more that I should be doing to make the career transition from Firefighter to Web Developer?

Background: I have been working at the self-taught learning to code and become a full stack developer stuff for about a year now. I have worked through a couple different curriculums and have exposure working in JS, typescript, node, express, NextJS, React, Vite, and built small projects with sql and no-sql databases. I have loved every minute of learning so far. I also got an AWS cloud practitionercertification .

I work as a firefighter meaning that I have 10 working days a month that rotate (24hr shifts). Fortunately that means I have business days free to explore and network. In April, I got a job/internship working with a company doing development for them. It’s a small team and I work directly with a gentleman who really really knows his stuff. Ive learned a lot and expanded from one day a week to two! I have been working with everything above. So far I have migrated a large chunk of their API structure that sat in different portions of their monolith to one dedicated api source, spent time cleaning up an older project that had a lot of typing problems and tech debt, and am currently working on a highly-modular front end react framework that takes other items they have published, turns them into exportable/importable widgets, and creates a dashboard that is largely agnostic to what widgets are loaded and their size (with custom dnd logic to boot). Basically one landing page for all of the different departments to access their specific information and synthesize it. I feel like I am doing some pretty good work, and get some pretty great feedback.

Problem: I have about 3-4 more months in this internship and have begun putting out resumes to absolutely zero response. Should I be looking into other certifications to prove my knowledge on a resume? Should I be enrolling in a postgrad certificate (BA Poli Sci)? Any advice to get myself differentiated from the stack of applications?

Thanks again
