Y'all, it's going down! 4 developers coding an app in 4 hours. Not to brag on anyone, but this crew is really bringing it! Some truly incredible personalities, minds and ideas in one room. Feels like an absolute luxury to be involved with this!

Maybe you are right. Or it could be that maybe I am trying to break into a new market. Prime example, the conference for charity I am putting on in Dallas. I've reached out to THOUSANDS of orgs at this point. I've been met with an overwhelming amount of No's. Each yes fires me back up.

When people ask me how I got sponsors for the Commit Your Code conference, this is exactly how it's been going. You thought they were chasing me? Nope. I'm chasing them.

If you reach out to 1000 business owners, 100 may reply. 50 may be interested. 25 may give you a hard time. 10 may jump on a call. But if you get 1 yes, it erases the feelings from the other 999 No's.

Going to be in the 4 Web Dev video challenge that Learn With Jason does! Now we can show everyone whether I actually know how to code or not... 😂 For those that do not know, the challenge is for 4 Web devs to build a site in 4 hours! If you haven't already, you should check it out.

All of my relatives think I can hack because of terminal and inspect elements on chrome. 😏

Image from the movie Life of Brian showing two scenes. The top scene shows a man pleading, with the text: 'When I open terminal in front of non-IT people: Will you please listen? I’m not a hacker.' The bottom scene shows a crowd of people pointing and shouting, with the text: 'Non-IT people: He is the hacker!'

No hate to this dude but As someone who is always talking about the good of LinkedIn, if you gave me $1.2 BILLION DOLLARS, I would delete my LinkedIn soooo fast. A billi?!? Shhhhhhhhhhhhhit. I wish I could lie and tell you something different but I can't 😂😂😂 Ain't no way.

A screenshot of a social media post with redacted user information. The post reads: 'If I had to choose between: A) winning $1.2b in the lottery or B) 100,000 LinkedIn followers, I’m choosing option B every time. Never underestimate the power of having a personal brand online.'"

Center aligned code... I feel actual pain seeing this. Like my stomach and head hurt.

If you get rejected, that doesn't define who you are. How you respond to it does.
