I preferred to read epic fantasy at home. They preferred to drink Vodka and smoke. I still remember that amazing first week in the coding bootcamp. EVERYONE around me was smart, nice, and like me. Everyone has their tribe 🙏23 Nov 2024 18:17 +0000at://did:plc:vurvomqajhteozyapvxrssx7/app.bsky.feed.post/3lbn43mta2k2chttps://bsky.app/profile/zaidesanton.bsky.social/post/3lblsmcoxwj2sI never had a twitter account (or Instagram/TikTok), but @gergely.pragmaticengineer.com article convinced me to give BlueSky a try :) Loved the concept of starting packs, super useful.
