So now you know what I have been up to but here is what I want to focus on in this post~

Resources

I talk a lot about mentors and how your first step is finding a mentor or a life coach or whatever you want to call that person you Google Chat at 1am when you woke up dreaming about codebases and doubly linked lists.

I got a little lost in one of my first tasks at new dream job and reached out for help. Because I work with a group of humans that actually care, I got a great list of resources that I want to share with you. As always, I will use the platform of humour to illustrate how I went from meltdown to personal crowntown <- I just made that up, yer welcome.
