Self doubt is always a thing, but owning who you are as a woman and taking advantage of the advantages you have as being a woman in tech! There are plenty! :)

dinkin' flicka salary would very much depend on where that person is located.

rates for hourly work - it would very much depend on what type of work you are doing! there is no silver bullet, only testing and optimizing for what works for you in your use case.

James Franko I love VSCode, and of course I use github! I keep my setup pretty basic and love me some command line.

What is your favorite theme for vs code!

We work with the best of the best, and have higher standards of what qualifies as a 'senior' developer.

We consist of people who believe in open source and who are writing the technologies most developer use.

We have a wide variety of developers, from the top to mid level developers available.

We believe in educating your team in how to do things right, and leaving you better off than when you started working with us.

We believe in creating inclusive architectures that are more sustainable for your applications in the long run and easier for all (PMs, designers, juniors) to contribute to.

We are women owned and run - which means that when you hire us, you are always helping women in tech succeeed.

When you hire us, you are funding the apprentice program, which helps women in tech get their first job.

Linda Campbell one of the hardest things to learn as an entrepreneur is that not everyone is going to be as driven as you, or as invested in your company because it's your baby! :) you must come to terms with that. :) another hard thing i learned was the importance or value of understanding code / development as a business entrepreneur. i wish i had before my first startup - it would have helped me communicate better with my developers, but c'est la vie!

Linda Campbell we all look up to each other and find confidantes in different times of need. i have leaned on Jen Luker, Kim Maida, Jen Looper, Elle Osmani in past and recent times.

Being an asshole.

That it's important to understand how to communicate with humans and not just code :)

Mike Albert most people find rxjs difficult because of the # of operators and the fact that you need to start thinking reactively, in streams, and changing how you look at data within your application. but, once you get it, it's amazingly useful! :)

Hi Tracey , "start thinking reactively, in streams" could you elaborate. Also what technology tcp sockets or websockets could stream a meta data search of 10 million websites ?

Absolutely! Ben Lesh and I recently gave a talk at WorkerConf about this: youtube.com/watch

Do what you love, and what you are passionate about. Typically, your journey doesn't start until you actually start it. There are many paths in tech. Just jump in and see what happens! The worst thing that could happen is you mess up and have to start over. But that's life in a nutshell.

Mac monitor, macbook pro. That's all!

Dunja Radulov yes of course we should always involve men who are allies and want to help as well! sometimes it's important to create safe spaces for women to grow OUT of. :)

Do you mean VS?

Promises are single value and always async. They are eager and stateful with only a few transformation options like then and catch.

Observables can have multiple values, are sync OR async, generally stateless, and have many transformation options out of the box via RxJS.

I plan things out to a tee. Whether good or bad, I know exactly where I'll be every day for the next 4 months by the half hour. I am deliberate and intentional about the things I invest my time in. I spend quite a good bit of December planning out what my entire year looks like. If you don't love what you're doing, stop and re-evaluate. Get to a place where you find daily happiness. Life is short.
