(Have you been forwarded this email?)

  • www.gitcute.com is alive and buzzing! Thank all of you that went to the site since the last issue, looked at things, and even responded to the email saying that they love the site. It means a lot to me since I am putting so much of my energy into it! (But not as much as job hunting)

  • With the website launch, I have also hard launched my Express and Custom Websites! I have consulted regularly with start up clients, most notably Polywork, while they were still focused as a social media company and a few quarters as they transitioned into their automatic website builder. So, if you know of anyone that’s in need of a website, a redesign, or a tech consultation, send them my way, and they will receive a 15% off discount if they mention the newsletter. 😉 

  • Not in the market for a custom website or it isn’t in budget? I also have launched my first Squarespace Template Serenity! It’s perfect for anyone looking to launch an ecommerce store or have a multipage portfolio. I designed it after a spa because I very much need a spa day. Purchase here!

  • As an incentive for people to sign up for the newsletter - and also because I’m studying for my CKAD right now - I went ahead and put together a 6 week study plan for the CKAD specifically. Can you take longer than 6 weeks? Yes. Do you have to follow it? No, but I did include a glossary of terms you should know and made it able for you to print it without needing to by a new ink cartridge. Current newsletter followers can get the study guide below.

LeetCode of the Week

Welcome to the new segment where I want you to solve a LeetCode with me each week! I am in the middle of interviewing, and even if you’re not, keeping up on your algorithmic skills is a great way to keep your mind sharp.

I picked this one because this was one of the LeetCodes that I had to do for a chance to interview with Capital One when I was in my coding bootcamp in 2016. In retrospect, being able to do this problem within 8 weeks of my 12-week bootcamp is really something I should have been proud of, but all I knew was the grind.

Reply with a screenshot of your accepted results and get a shoutout in next week’s newsletter!

Short newsletter this week due to interviewing. Be kind to yourself and others!
