My name is Kelly and I am a developer. A business owner. An entrepreneur. A forever learner.

##I am many things.

But one of the things I'm most proud of is turning a hobby that started nearly 18 years ago into the career of my dreams.

I don't want to make this post about my journey because it has been shared before, but here's the short version. I taught myself to code at 11 because I wanted to make my own guild on Neopets. Neopets turned into MySpace layouts, which turned into building my first client website (I was paid a t-shirt), and I freelanced all through undergrad and grad school. I lasted 9 months in a "real job" before going full-time freelance, which turned into building an agency.

Okay, now we're all caught up!

So why do I write this post for International Women's Day?

##This post is for the women who have been told they wouldn't succeed in a development career.

It's for the women who thought they couldn't do it. The women who think they're too late to get started at this point.

Let's dispel some rumors here.

*I'm not technically-minded, so I wouldn't do well.*

Development is art. Sure, there's some math and a lot of logic involved, but in this career we spend our days creatively solving problems. Creating something new.

*I'm already [some age], so it's too late to get started now.*

My dad just learned how to code in Ruby on Rails. He just helped me build a Shopify app that will be submitted for approval next month. He's not in his 20s or 30s, or even his 40s. (Sorry, Dad.) He can absolutely start a new career in development at his age, and so can you.

*I'm always going to be behind.*

Okay, this one's sort of true. We're all behind! That's the beauty of a career in development. There's always something new to learn, and you'll always meet people who have the answers you seek to the questions that are holding you back. There will always be room for improvement.

*I'm not good enough.*

Yes you are. You are fully capable of having a flourishing career as a developer. I believe in you. This community believes in you.

##Still on the fence about starting your career in development?

Reach out to me. DM me on [Twitter](https://twitter.com/kvlly). Send me an [email](mailto: kelly@thetaproom.com).

Let me help you. Let this amazing community help you. Support you. Teach you. But remember: you can absolutely do this. If you want it, the development community is here to help you get it.

**I'm proud of being a woman in tech in 2019, and this community is why I code.**

At work, I have the privilege of interacting with folks from other (non-engineering) teams often. I really enjoy this part of the job! I studied computer science in college and have worked as an engineer since so being in a role that gives me visibility into other roles is refreshing. I see every interaction with someone new as a chance to learn something and perhaps *build together*? 😊  

So when I came across this blog post I was immediately intrigued:

{% link https://dev.to/samjarman/daniele-bernardi-on-working-with-non-technical-people-and-getting-recognition-right-533l %}


This quote resonated with me:

>"I'm not afraid to say I struggled with this aspect at the beginning of my career. I thought technical leadership would simply mean displaying your knowledge by painstakingly listing all the details in a project, but I soon found out that aspect is actually perceived as overzealous. Technical leadership is really about using your best judgement to condense the most difficult aspects into a straightforward statement; it also means hiding details you know don't require broad consensus among the key stakeholders of your project."

I recently created a document whose primary audience are not engineers. I was proud of having started the conversation that led to this very document being written. I truly believed this document was taking my team one step forward on the road to success. So, I included several hundred pages of sample records which took many evenings during off-hours to put together. I wanted to be as precise as possible and I felt good about my effort right up until I received feedback from the other team. They had removed the sample records because it didn't add to the discussion. 

I realize I did not practice enough self-awareness when writing this document. Yes, I was concerned with how the readers would perceive me and my knowledge but now I see that I was more concerned with proving I knew what I was talking about. I missed the point.

The blog post I reference above is not the first time I hear about the delivery of simplified messages as a key aspect of technical leadership. Other people I look up to and respect have shared this with me. This is, however, the first time that it really hit home for me as I reflected on this experience with another team outside engineering. So I will be mulling over this lesson, practicing empathy in future interactions, and actively seeking feedback.

**I am curious on your thoughts! Please send me a message or comment below.**

 
P.S. I hate referring to folks as "non-technical" but I couldn't help how someone else titled their blog post. April Wensel explains some of the issues I have with the term on her [blog](https://medium.com/compassionate-coding/if-you-can-use-a-fork-youre-technical-352e21d92c87).

## I began coding because...
I wanted to be a librarian. I had no idea what I wanted to do in High School, but I knew that I enjoyed my part time job at the local library. So I decided to go to a combined Bachelor's and Master's program with Computer Science as my undergrad. The first time I coded, I remember it was so frustrating and yet so rewarding when I finally figured out the solution. I loved puzzling through problems so much that I decided to become a Programmer rather than a Librarian.

## I continued to code in 2019 because ...
Every day, I get to solve exciting new challenges and problems. (and continue to be frustrated by them and elated when I find the solution)

## I deserve credit for ...

Being an organizer for two groups that run workshops and meetups for women, non-binary folks, and anyone who has felt left out of "traditional" tech spaces to come and learn tech skills together.

In the context of Developer Relations, a Lunch & Learn event is a lunchtime developer education event. It’s very similar to an evening meetup but hosted during the lunch hour. While a meetup can have different formats (hands-on, lecture, panel, etc), this particular event has a lecture-style format. Developers come to the event, get to eat a delicious lunch, learn something new, ask questions and network.

So now the question is – why run an event during the lunch hour. I’m going to share why a Lunch & Learn can add value to your developer relations program. I want to mention this is not to run instead of evening events but in addition to evening events.

Many developers don’t live in San Francisco. They come to San Francisco for work but don’t want to stay in San Francisco after work to attend a developer event. Many want to get home to their families, significant others, friends or just to relax. So we thought why not host an event when developers are here during the day. People have to eat lunch anyways – right? So why not combine developer education and delicious food. And that’s how we started hosing Lunch & Learn events.

Our events have been successful. People look forward to eating a delicious lunch and getting high-quality developer education. The actual talk is about 50 minutes – so that fits nicely into the lunch hour. The talk is usually a high-level overview of a technology, solution or open source project (we don’t want people eating and coding at the same time). We share resources where developer can learn more, try [tutorials](http://developer.ibm.com) or [IBM Developer Code Patterns](https://developer.ibm.com/patterns/). A Lunch & Learn is a great event to bring awareness about your technology and solutions.

To drive active developers and for developers who want to learn even more, we usually host an evening event within a few weeks after the Lunch & Learn. The evening event is hands-on event where developers can get more in depth and build an actual solution. This is an example where content creates content. I shared [how content creates content in this blog post](https://dev.to/ibmdeveloper/how-content-creates-content-3edj).

[We host our Lunch & Learn events](https://www.meetup.com/IBM-Developer-SF-Bay-Area-Meetup/events/) in San Francisco but this should be applicable to any major city or metropolitan area. At the same time I understand that San Francisco is unique in how many developers work here. But, I still think you should consider and give a Lunch & Learn event a try with your developer community and see how it goes.

## I continued to code in 2019 because...

I'm lucky enough to have found something that I genuinely like doing and can make a living from. Also, there's so much more to learn and build, it'd be impossible (at least for me) to be bored of this 🤓

## I deserve credit for...

writing [blog posts](https://www.chenhuijing.com/blog) about frontend development, running [Talk.CSS](https://singaporecss.github.io) and trying to support my fellow tech community leaders in their endeavours and events 🙆‍♀️

## I hope to see the Southeast-Asian tech community...

gain more representation on the international stage 🤸‍♀️

## I will advocate for gender equality by...
Giving collages the space they need whenever I noticed they are not receiving the attention and respect they deserve in any project I belong.

## I hope to see my developer community...
Became the best possible place for oppressed genders to be part of.

## My advice for fellow allies is...
Talk to another allies when they are doing something wrong. Stop giving women opinion about how they have to fight for their rights,just listen and be supporting... We need to understand that we have a secondary role in this fight and be ok with that...

## I hope to see my school/work/developer/tech community...
Get more populated with a lot of different people, every time I teach a lesson on math or physics I try to convince ALL the people about the awesome these spaces are.

## My advice for fellow allies is...
All we need to keep fighting, finding the ways through the society holes and little spaces and fixing this.

## I started/continued to code in 2019 because...

PAST - I once had a dream of being a software engineer when I finished my undergraduate degree in Computer Science a long time ago. (Side note: I had interest in science and technology from childhood but eventually settled on Computer Science as my major after a high school math teacher remarked on how women were underrepresented in technology. Challenge accepted!)  After marrying the love of my life (who happens to be in the military), I set aside that dream to follow my spouse around the world and take care of my family. 

PRESENT - Participating in a hackathon by MilSpouse Coders a few months back, my passion for problem-solving, learning, and the thrill of creating a solution in code that provides the expected results was reignited. That experience led me to apply to Code Platoon's Full-Stack Development Program. I am proud to be one of the first military spouses to participate in the program and honored to learn alongside an amazing group of veterans. I'm loving Python, Django, Javascript, React and all the other tools/practices that I am learning.

FUTURE - I want to show my daughter that technology is for everyone and that Mom can be a badass when she puts her mind to something! 

## I deserve credit for...
Attending bootcamp remotely and from across the world...lots of late late nights!
Making myself and my dreams a priority (though I can't lie that I do feel guilty at times).

I tried writing about myself and the things I want to see, but I couldn't really find anything I was comfortable with. I don't think I'm really the person to teach others how to be a good ally. I don't know what I'm doing.

My only advice is to amplify people different than yourself. If there's something you want to say and someone else has already said it, don't speak over them or repeat it just so it can be a tiny picture of *your* face next to the words. Use your platform to amplify them.

**Jessica Rose** [[Website](https://jessica.tech) ⌨ [Twitter](https://twitter.com/jesslynnrose)]
One of the most inspiring people I follow. Jessica always seems to have time to help people and organise within the community.

**Sandi Metz** [[Website](https://sandimetz.com) ⌨ [Twitter](https://twitter.com/sandimetz)]
Almost everything I managed to absorb about OOP came from Sandi Metz. Her books belong on every shelf.

**Caroline Ada Ehmke** [[Website](https://where.coraline.codes/) ⌨ [Twitter](https://twitter.com/CoralineAda)]
Created the contributor covenant. Fights seemingly fearless and tirelessly for decency in tech.

Another super prolific DEV.to writer. It's difficult to visit this site without benefiting from something she wrote.

## I started/continued to code in 2019 because...I want to become a UI/UX Designer and I realized front-end skills would make me even better because it would compliment my creative side.

## I deserve credit for...wanting to help breakdown barriers and see more women especially Black women in the tech field.

## I hope to see my school/work/developer/tech community...aspire to help others that aren’t properly represented in the field. To welcome, encourage and mentor those who feel they may not be accepted cause they don’t fit the look or traditional “criteria” of what it takes to be in tech.

# Hi guys!

> Did you ever attend any dev conference?

I've been developing for almost 20 years but I discovered dev conferences only in 2016. That year, I had the chance to attend the very famous [devoxx](https://www.devoxx.fr/) conference in Paris. The tickets, the train and the hotel room were paid by my company.

It was very exciting! Meeting so many developers, hearing some famous speakers talking about hot topics, getting my first stickers... 😉

That was also after this event that I wrote my first blog post on the corporate social network. And that I started to blog.

I usually try to be very open-minded when I attend such events. I don't go to the talks about my favorite stack. I prefer attend talks about some exotic technology (**blockchain**, **rust**, ...) or hear feedbacks from people who experimented something new in production (**CQRS**, **docker**, **microservices**, ...). I also like talks about **testing**, **devops** and **agility**.

Now, let me introduce you to the events I had the chance to go.

Stress is the number one killer.
According to the American Psychological Association, chronic stress is linked to the six leading causes of death: heart disease, cancer, lung ailments, accidents, cirrhosis of the liver and suicide.

To reduce stress, you should practice and master this one simple trick: BREATHING.

You might get surprised and pissed off to waste your time reading the article, however, stress is caused due to high blood pressure. The easiest way to reduce it is to learn how to breathe the Right Way:

1- Take a deep breath (from your nose) as deep as you can, and try to feel your lungs filled with air.

2- Hold your breath for as long as you can (around 7 seconds would be great)

3- Release the air from your mouth slowly till you feel you have no oxygen in your lungs. (This step is the most important one, you will feel that you have extruded all the bad energy)

4- Repeat Step 1 but try to breathe as slowly as you can.

Repeat the procedure for 2 to 3 times before the exam, interview, etc... and you will feel much better, more powerful and hopefully more confident.
