@marciac95.bsky.social learned: JavaScript + MERN stack
Marcia uses now: React Native + Next.js (neither of the original)
Would she change anything? Nope.

"It gave me everything I needed as a good foundation."

Fundamentals > framework flavor of the month.

Her why: "I'm ready to make a drastic change"
The 100Devs energy helped.The portfolio page helped.

But her first API project? That was the moment.
"Oh, I can do stuff with this."

That realization changes everything.

Sometimes the best approach is just to start applying and see what happens.

@marciac95.bsky.social kept it local and strategic—proof that your first tech job doesn't have to be at a FAANG company across the country.

The "Dora Method" for learning to code 🧠

Listen at 2x speed
Re-listen but predict what comes next.

Personal email + job search = opportunities lost in spam.

@tdesseyn.bsky.social recommends: dedicated email, name in bold, LinkedIn, GitHub.

Simple but effective to never miss an interview.

Putting just "2025-2026" on your resume without months is a red flag for recruiters.

Did you work 2 years or 2 months?

@tdesseyn.bsky.social (1000+ devs placed) explains why this detail is costing you calls.

No speaking. No networking. Just time with her fiancé and their dog.
The realization? "I was always on."
