Built with #dotnetmaui, I’d like to introduce team Forget Me Not to the world. Our first graduates from @UPLIFTTechOrg’s combinator program, they have built something truly transformative. #engineering #neurodiversity #seedphrase #Seedround
Stop guessing. Set a breakpoint.
The fastest debuggers I know aren't the smartest people in the room. They just stop the code and look at what's actually happening instead of what they think is happening.
"ChildViewModel is not defined."
We spent way too long on this one in class. The fix? One capital letter.
Every dev has lost an hour to a typo. The skill is learning to read the error instead of panicking at it.
My class spent real time arguing whether macadamia nuts belong in the browser model or the server model.
Silly premise. Very real architecture debate. Team Browser or Team Server? 🍪
OpenAI just spent DevDay showing agents that write and ship code on their own. Everyone's asking if junior devs are done.
Teaching new devs every week, my take: the job is moving from typing code to knowing when the AI is wrong. That's the skill we teach at UPLIFT.
4.0 GPA. Then a newborn.
My students aren't choosing between family and a tech career. They're building both at the same time. That's who I built UPLIFT for. #LearnToCode

It’s hard to imagine many people having a bigger impact than Dolly Parton. Born in a one-room cabin, she earned 11 Grammys and an Emmy, built a business empire, helped millions of kids learn to read, and — as if that wasn’t enough — helped accelerate the research that led to the Moderna COVID vaccine. What a life. Michelle and I are thinking of Dolly’s family and her many, many fans.
Breaking News: Dolly Parton, the country singer, songwriter, entertainer and entrepreneur known for her outsize persona and prodigious vision and talent that placed her in a class by herself, has died at 80. nyti.ms/45Prr77
In 25 years of leadership, the words 'calm down' have never helped. True leaders inspire, they don't demand. Coaching style is about guiding, not dictating. What's your leadership approach? #salem #salemor #womenleaders #LeadershipTips #Coaching #Management
An online trend threatened to spiral into a crisis, but this team navigated it with skill. Discover the leadership styles that defused tension and the words to always avoid. #Leadership #CrisisManagement
Why keep properties private? Getters and setters expose them for use and manipulation, ensuring control and clarity. #ProgrammingTips #SoftwareDevelopment #salem #salemor #womeninstem #nonprofit
Does digital memory last forever? Unlike human long-term memory, computer 'memory' is more like short-term. Data isn't stored indefinitely; it's transient, like thoughts processed in the moment.

Debugging takes hours because logging is treated as an afterthought. Strategic logging cuts that time by 80%. It's not about more logs—it's about the right logs. #DevTips #CodeQuality
Ever confused arrays and dictionaries? An array is a list of values you access by index (like 1, 2, 3, 4, 5). Dictionaries use 'keys' instead of indices. #Programming #DataStructures

WOW... JUST WOW...
In order to justify invoking the insurrection act in Portland, Oregon, trump faked a riot with professional videographers, the military and hired extras.
