Coding In Heels
```Hello World !```.
Welcome to my blog, my doodle pad, my writing pad for all my experiences, learnings, and everything in between, just in this small medium space.
I am super excited, I have been so indifferent about writing and starting a blog but I guess the timing is right, since sooooo much has happened in just about 6 months and it’s a tad too selfish to NOT share.
My name is June Barasa, I am a self-proclaimed Software Engineer in the making (We will have more conversations on self-proclamation, it’s going to be intense, I am so not ready, lol). I’ll choose to keep more about myself a mystery, you will get to know more as blogs (time) goes by. I promise to be as close to an open book as possible.
Why Coding In Heels?
Well why not ? Picture a Software Engineer at Google, Facebook or Apple : A promo tech shirt, jeans, sneakers in an “ok” condition, again, a promo tech hoodie, and a back-pack. (Maybe I was a tad too harsh with this description). I mean I kinda-sort of fall victim to this but for the longest time my self-care slogan has always been “Look good, feel good”, the extra effort goes a long way in terms of my confidence to be honest, sooooo, yeah, I can’t be the stereotype, at least not yet, lol, I am giving myself more years to suffer through late night code maybe it will change me.
Coding in heels is more of a metaphor that means:
Doing that which is considered difficult, different and disruptive to the status quo and stereotypes.
I mean, I may not be the first or even the only one to do so, BUT, I sure do love being part of the pipeline.
Expectation Management.
Insights
I will most definitely give you insights, cheat-sheets, and breakdown everything I know tech-wise for you. Honey, I will do the dirty deep-dive work so you don’t have to.
