I started working as an automation engineer 6 months ago after completing a python coding bootcamp. I spend my time working towards improving automation, monitoring, and scalability. I embrace the DevOps ideals of CALMS: Culture, Automation, Lean, Measurement, Sharing.

I am so happy to see this program in place. We all talk about how most problems we have with diversity come from upstream, and now a school is directly addressing it. An objective solution to an objective problem.

I'm looking for a Jr DevOps or Jr Developer position. I went from no coding experience to deploying my first django app in 3 days in order to apply to a coding bootcamp. I graduated from Codefellows Python course a month ago and have been continuing at 8-10 hours of coding a day. So while I am less experienced, I would fit in great with a company that values that kind of growth.

lordsheepy | 12 years ago | on: Ask HN: How do you remember names?

The trick I learned was to repeat the person's name to yourself while taking note of their eye color. Makes you stop just long enough to really set the memory in place and seems to be positive eye contact as well. Another thing I do is if it is a networking function, I will continue conversations with new people:

"Yeah, Ellen and I were just talking about the merits of [subject here]"

I think when it comes to django, too many people go in a start using it without understanding anything that's going on inside. Django's magic often encourages ignorance till debugging forces you to figure out what is going on. This approach could really help mitigate that effect.

Well, I enjoyed it, but good tetris mechanics make it an exercise in how long until you get bored. Does at least make me remember the joy of finishing all the wonders in the New Tetris for n64 though.
