I chatted with @SteveChenDC this week about @nyccodecoffee and a few days later I'm still buzzing thinking about our convo. Community builders really do make the world go round.
Had a great time at the 1st Triangle @USCodeCoffee meetup of 2023. Thank you to @SteveChenDC for coordinating this space, @LoadingDock_Co for sponsoring the event and all the great people who came out to co-work, network, and help build up this community with us!

Code & Coffee is Coming to Boston! Very excited to meet folks in person! #100Devs

The first in a series about Code & Coffee as a whole, this video features an interview with our illustrious and amazing founder, @SteveChenDC!
Just woke up from a nap. 😴
NY did not disappoint for my first day here!
Checked into the hotel then straight to the Code & Coffee meetup by @SteveChenDC & crew AND then to an after-meetup event at Slate. Spoke w/ developers & got to hear what they are working on.
Thanks y'all!👍🏾

Last Sunday's @nyccodecoffee was extra special because it was the 1st anniversary. Congrats @SteveChenDC for putting together such an awesome community. Also thank you @heycaseywattsup for the superb talk on burnout.

Had a great conversation with @SteveChenDC as the 100th coffee chat! Keep up the great work and loved chatting with you regarding your journey! Hope to share mine one day! #100Devs
I have heard really good things from local devs about @SteveChenDC ‘s code & coffee events, but I am also a hermit since 2020 so you won’t see me there 🙃
What I am most thankful for today:
As a software developer (#trend?🙃) who is introverted, I got lucky with back-to-back chats with @HCoronado and @SteveChenDC today;
They are both motivating, welcoming, and inspiring.
Wow, can't say enough positive things about @SteveChenDC. What a nice guy, a great #coffeechat -er with a brilliant mind. Everyone check out @nyccodecoffee I can't wait to go to the next meet-up!
Thank you for the coffee chat @SteveChenDC. Thank you for the tips, your incredible story and cute kittens pics.
Thank for you what you said about me in our coffee chat today, Steve (@SteveChenDC). It was definitely inspiring and comforting.
I look forward to scheduling more chats with you.
Which book are you currently reading?

Very glad I got to chat with local engineer @SteveChenDC today. I say local for me, but his story spans far beyond the DC area. Need more of that kind of energy out there!

Just finished an EXCELLENT #coffechat with @SteveChenDC! We talked a little about how the path to a career in tech can be less than linear, but still highly rewarding! Really helped soothe my "imposter syndrome" jitters! Web Dev, here I come!
Was so nice chatting with @SteveChenDC today! Loved hearing his story about entering tech and going over the importance of soft skills as a dev. #100devs, def reach out for a coffee chat! :)
If you're feeling down or worried you might not have what it takes, have a chat with @SteveChenDC. We started cracking jokes right off the bat. He'll remind you what's possible and that becoming a software dev is more than just knowing how to code.
