What did I do? 💻
New articles 📰
- Course review: 'Create Your Following' by Danny Thompson
- How I optimised my online presence to get opportunities
- Why the term 'T-shaped' is better than the term 'full-stack'
Began writing my first eBook
I had an idea for an eBook to focus on levelling up your career by looking at atomic habits and what you can do for yourself to boost your portfolio. This is a field I feel I know a lot about and have a lot to share - so I called the eBook, "Level-Up Your Career Today".
Courses I did
Create Your Following by Danny Thompson - see my review here.
Created another Twitter bot
This Twitter bot goes by the handle of @DarkMemeLordBot and will like and retweet tech meme tweets containing #darkmemelord. The inspiration behind this was to share tech memes (because Tech Twitter is well-known for its memes) so no one missed a good tech meme by anyone.
Exciting news! The bot code for this bot has been deployed and SHOULD work (famous words).

This bot is designed to retweet tweets with #darkmemelord so no one ever misses a tech meme!
Be sure to use that hashtag in your next tech meme and follow this bot! 💪
Took part in some interviews
Portfolio websites interview
Creating a portfolio website isn't the same thing as crafting a résumé/CV. In @jackdomleo7's opinion, you can't forget to have fun!

I am of the opinion that the term 'full-stack' is too often misunderstood and is in need of a replacement.
