nodejs platform team @ netflix, equal parts cat/dog enthusiast, can be bribed with 🥐
Two things people mistake me for: tall and confident. Y’all I am 5’4” and terrified.
My team at Netflix (Node.js Platform) is hiring 🚨 https://jobs.netflix.com/jobs/279060739
I just learned it's "skill set" not "skillset". It feels so wrong.
Code is easiest part of our jobs. Humans are the hard part.
I get real joy out of hyper-focusing. Too bad it also means I forget to eat.
When people ask how I manage to be productive with ADHD, I jokingly reply "Lists!" and then I get serious: "No, really, lists."
I've got two talks I want to write later this year or next: Something around JS package management (still thinking on this) Making the switch from frontend to backend (which has been my life for last 1.5 years) What do y'all think?
Hyperfocus is the ADHD opposite of distractibility, often masquerading as ”productivity.” Poor attention regulation can go both ways, y’all.
Wise words from a friend: “Listen, sometimes we cannot predict the outcome of things but we can always have a lil’ treat” 🍪
Doing very important, very serious work over here... *types console.log('bananas')* ... very, very serious work. 😤
Looking for fellow peoples interested in: - Dogs 🐶 & cats 🐈 - JavaScript - Software engineering 👩🏻💻 - Skateboarding 🛹 - Sewing 🪡
Hardest part of WFH is making sure I don’t roll my chair onto a dog or cat
