The CDC recommends you stop DMing me to ask if I can teach your wife to code.
Especially since there are so many free resources online, my gender has nothing to do with my ability to teach her, and I don't have time so how about you do it, sir? π
Also, does your wife even want to code? π€¨π§ Maybe ask that important question to her first.
As a woman, this happens to us a lot more than you think.
Imagine if we started doing this to men: "Hey- can you teach my dad how to use a computer? I know you've never met and have nothing in common except body parts but, you're both dudes so y'all probably would get along". π€¨
One of my 1st eng interviews, I was leaving and they said "our other candidate is a female coder as well, I bet you'd get along great!".
To which I literally replied "...why?". lol
Anyway, gender is a construct, and personally I don't think being a woman in tech makes me special/particularly qualified to educate your wife. People are people- also, I'm busy sir Β―\_(γ)_/Β―

I really want to share what I'm doing with @EmilyKager today, but I'm too afraid creeps will figure out where we are and show up. So just know we are excited, there will be photos that we will post after, and we are v extra. π―ββοΈππΈ
Truly living up to this trophy I purchased myself at @Target π₯²π
I literally took only 1 pic because I was too busy being *present* and enjoying myself and having a great time with @EmilyKager today, but what a treat to find a hotel pool to discuss world domination during a heat wave in the Bay Area with one of my main ma'ams ππππ’β΅π
If you're a student looking to learn all about @AzureFunctions, APIs, and build your very own serverless project with the help of mentors (like me & @nthonyChu), you should definitely apply- everyone is welcome! πββοΈ
Being an ambivert is emotionally exhausting. I have absolutely no problem performing in front of thousands of people on stage. But, ask me to talk to a front desk person and I will have to emotionally prepare myself for 15-20 minutes, and even then I'll beg my boyfriend do it.
Trust me, I'm as confused as you are. I have literally danced/sung along to prerecorded fart/burp sounds in Shrek the musical 5 nights a week for 2+ months, but often the mere thought of 1:1 interactions can give me crippling anxiety π³ Brains are weird.
tldr: I'd literally rather sing and tap dance in front of the whole restaurant than go through the emotional turmoil of asking a complete stranger working at the venue where the restroom is.
