Posting a bit late today because I’m working in the morning. As I said a few times I’m very lucky to be able to keep working. Millions of people in Australia aren’t able to work with the new restrictions to businesses and gatherings. Hopefully the money I’m making now will provide resources for me to …
Yesterday I couldn’t code for as many hours as I wanted, but for a good reason. I was working from 12 to 830pm. As I’ve been saying, every work hour these days is extremely valuable. It was a big day with lots of video recording and live streaming of dance classes and it felt good …

I’m not sure how much having a certification improves my chances of getting a job, but even if it doesn’t, I love the intellectual challenge. The subscription to educational material …
