Hi I’m Tiffany! 👋🏾 I'm a Software Engineer.
I first learned about web development back in college - My first videos on my channel were about how I got into tech, you should check those out for some cringe worthy content 😁
I eventually went to a coding bootcamp and finally found my first job as a dev - The process took forever! 😩
I decided to share my journey through videos so you can see my experiences in the tech industry; I also share my advice for getting jobs in the tech field since I know how difficult it can be. I want to motivate you and hopefully teach you a few things that will make your life a little easier in the tech field 😀
Join me on this journey as I share tips and we can grow together 💪🏾

What helped me: Have buzzwordy words in your profile and companies related to that will look at it more. I had web3 and it helped. Im sure if you have AI, Healthcare, Education, all this can help in search for recruiters reaching out to you
It's hard to get a job. I was laid off since April 2024, still no job. I had one lined up, and then they said they were not hiring. It is also harder because July and August have less job listings than April, May and September.
Sorry to hear this. I do hope you’re able to land something soon.
The new book, The Bubble That Broke The Bank, predicted the massive decline of the IT field in 2023 and how the real estate crash will vaporize IT jobs. The IT field has lost over 500,000 jobs since 2021. You need to study the book and create your own Noah's Ark.
Thank you for making this! I’m going into my senior year of college and am admittedly nervous for starting this process but getting insight like this makes me feel a bit more confident~
I’m so glad it’s helpful 😃 Best of luck on your job search journey!
Also just saw you’re coding your way through graduation - That’s super awesome! It’s really the best way to learn, keep on coding.
@@Tiffanyt899 Tysm!~
@@Tiffanyt899 Thank you! Yeah its been super helpful for learning and i'm hoping I can use it as leverage to show employers that I'm dedicated as well haha
Oh nice transparency! This is good content
Thanks! I appreciate it.
Hybrid roles!
Hey dude ! You’re video saved my life !
Just came across this video .. Just graduated from my associates in info technology. Still wondering if I should get my bachelor’s in comp sci . I think it’s beneficial in the current market compared to bootcampers or self taught . I currently have a project that I completed in my last semester for school . Would like to know from you ??
I think in any market, experience and connections are key. If you’re wanted to do web dev as a career, I personally wouldn’t get a computer science degree. Best of luck to you.
Great to hear your voice and get your feedback. It does suck!
Indeed it does! Sending you positive vibes 💜
Have you heard of Blacks in Technology? They have great resources as well as a career fair once a month too. They have one coming up in June. Hope it helps and please keep us updated! Wishing you the best ❤️
I have heard of them but didn’t know about the career fair. I will check it out. Thanks for the info 💜
LinkedIn sucks. Yes, I'm pretty sure there were more characters before. I got a job from Indeed then hibernated my LinkedIn. But to be clear, it's a technical position in Academia but not software development. We do have a web team in the office I hope to schmooze down the line though. Wishing you luck, Tiff!
That’s great news! Congrats 🥳 That’s a great plan and a great way to go about getting into a different position at the company.
@@Tiffanyt899 Thanks a bunch! 🤞
Gracias x tu video😊
Excellent content! Thanks for sharing!
Thank you for watching 😃
Which vscode theme abd font??
VSCode theme: Night owl. Font: Menlo, Monaco, 'Courier New', monospace
Hope you all enjoy this video! I tried out a new zoom tool to show the code better, hit the like button if you like it 😃
YOU ARE THE BEST! Thank you so much! 😭😭😭😭💙💙💙💙
😃I’m so glad it was helpful!
I added a quick feature to my app and talking through the entire process from coding to production.
appreciated. thanks
Nice again. Curious how you setup the ci on the repo. Was it simple or brain bending annoying. A video on it if the council is feeling considerately generious
What's your journey and take on doing git from the terminal within you editor cos I see you juggling 3 apps (editor, github desktop, browser). You can eliminate github desktop by doing everything in the terminal from your editor so then only have to deal with 2 apps
@@elmalleable Great question! It’s not so bad after doing it one time. Essentially, I just set up the basics needed for php/laravel and can add on from there.
@@elmalleable I don’t have a problem with having 3 apps. I’ve done both - UI for git and using terminal and am okay with either. Sometimes I don’t want to mess with the terminal. And other times I don’t want to mess with the UI.
Here’s timestamps for those interested 😃: 0:00 - Intro 0:41 - Demo 1:17 - Initial Design 1:37 - Start Component 3:33 - Song List Component 9:53 - End Game Component 12:18 - Backend 17:30 - Testing 17:41 - Outro
i got 1 out of 5 lol, the link in he comment opens the laravel starter page though, plans to fix that? Nice
Thanks, fixed. Thanks for playing 😃
@@Tiffanyt899 Hurray and i did better than last time, I got 2 out of 5 lol
@elmalleable I also pushed up a code change to fix this. Check out the video here: Adding a Feature to My Web App | Redirect Route kzread.info/dash/bejne/fGmnsKifiKyYqrw.html
@@Tiffanyt899 you are on fire⚡🔥
👍🏿👨🏿💻👍🏿
If you're interested, here's the link to the game I made: music-quiz.tiffanythompson.tech/start Please share any feedback to my email or any social media links in the video description :)
Merci Thank you so much because with your help, all good now. I had the problem since a week now, so inconvenient without CarPlay when you have to pickup kids from school. They used to text me for time and place but I wasn’t able to stay connected with them while driving Thank you so much 🙏
lawl. its been a minute.
50,000 seems kind of low for a web developer salary. Is this still the entry level salary? I know a lot of positions now are paying at least 70,000 base and I wouldn't ask for not a dime under that.
I like everything you reviewed about the app BLK but it's one that was left out that I need some understanding. Do the app specify sexual identity. Straight, Bi-sex or Gay. I really didn't want to get into others that may apply or not apply. I just wanted them is this for a specific group.
I’ve been on the app for just several months now & I also hate having to pay to see WHO likes you 🤦🏾♂️ but I wanted to ask, what does the blue check mark by a name mean? They should have a section explaining symbols as well.
On there now. I think they took a couple of your suggestions
You are Awesome!!!! Thank you so much!!!!
Such a clear and engaging tutorial! Have watched this every time I need a refresher on REST APIs.
OMG thanks. It finally worked
This was really helpful
You are the best !!!!thank you
Thank you so much it worked for me 🎉😅
Awesome!
Thanks tried everything else then stumbled across your video. Worked like a champ.
Thank you so much! This is exactly what fixed it for me. I was lost when I restarted my phone and also turned off my car engine and it still wouldn’t work. 2018 Subaru crosstrek.
We literally can't wait till the next video. House hunting is such an adventure & can be very rewarding & comforting at the end of it all. It's good to see the journey through the process. You also mentioned that your parents remodel homes. That's pretty cool. Do they have a KZread channel, as well? Those are some of our favorite videos.
Thanks for watching! Unfortunately, they do not have a channel.
Thank you! This worked, love it, clear, concise and to the point. You should work for Honda and or they should pay you! 😊
🗣️Honda, I need a paycheck 🤣
THANK YOU! I was losing my mind trying everything before I found your video.
2 calls to Apple and no help. Thank you !!!!
Was it your plan to stay for 6 months or did it just work out like that?
I was laid off after 6 months for my first dev job
you are so fun! and great story teller!
literally dont work try for like 5 days and i feel stupid jumping out the box trying to make an simple employee portal for a marketing team /
Love this so much!!! Is there a template you can share so I can use this for my dev work flow?!
THANK YOU! This worked great. Much appreciated!
First off, love the energy. Love the enthusiasm. Love the knowledge of the app. Secondly, what you said it throughout this video is so so true. And with the lights, once you subscribe the lights go away. So it almost makes you feel like you’ve been ghosted by the app And your likes. Like it go to Jew into subscribing and getting a membership just to see the life that may or may not really exist.
I just get permission denied each time I try yo log in 😪
I’m guessing 50k or 60k salary
Years later, still coming back to this video..😂😩..thx again!
You’re welcome 😃
