Here's to hoping for a Hackbright future

So I kind of suck at this consistent-blogging thing, but it's also interesting to see how much has changed since my last post. Since my last post, I've moved from Codecademy tracks onto Learn Python the Hard Way exercises, which have been really interesting because I'm not being "babied" by the all-in-one coding platform on Codecademy.

I've had to learn how to get really familiar with Terminal commands and using Atom. Being instructed type out and understand every single line of code as shown in the LPTHW exercises has also been strangely refreshing, albeit somewhat tedious at times.

Oh, and also, since my last post, I've finally managed to submit my application to Hackbright. I admittedly spent about five times the amount of time on the first part of the application (work history, my interest in Hackbright, and the expertise "essay") than on the coding challenge, which required some careful thought process but wasn't bad at all. It took me a few hours to complete the coding challenge. 

Two weeks after I submitted my application, I got invited to do a virtual interview through the Kira Talent platform. I was ecstatic but also nervous, because having done a ton of research on their interview process, I knew this was completely new and different. I completed the interview yesterday, but I hesitate to write more just yet before I hear anything...if at all.

Fingers crossed!
