Hello! My name is Lillian and I understand that this is a comment, not a post. ;)
I began working as an untrained legal assistant in 2013. It was interesting, challenging, inspiring, and I kept doing it until last November 30th, when I was laid off. That's when I realized I didn't enjoy what I was doing and thought that I would rather learn to code. I started taking udemy courses right away (I've signed up for probably too many but I'll always have something to do!), and I even joined a COVID-19 hackathon this past spring. That project taught me I have ALOT to learn and a LONG way to go, so I joined #100DaysOfCode a few days ago. My log is here: github.com/LillianWight/100-days-o...
I heard about CodeNewbies from The StackOverflow podcast and I think it's going to be right up my alley. I need encouragement, guidance, and chocolate.
Welcome tag moderator AKA Unofficial DEV cheerleader. While most of my friends are found on SnapChat or Tic-Toc, you can find me here. And I OOP, but I’m not a VSCO girl.
Welcome Lillian! I know we can provide the encouragement and guidance. As for chocolate 🍫, while I love it too, you’ll have to settle with a virtual taste.

I'm a friendly, non-dev, cisgender guy from NC who enjoys playing music/making noise, hiking, eating veggies, and hanging out with my best friend/wife + our 3 kitties + 1 greyhound.
Haha! Great ending to your intro. We have plenty of encouragement and guidance to give here... all outta chocolate though, we ran out just yesterday, such a bummer.
In all seriousness though, really hope you dig it here. 😀 You may find this beginner's guide to DEV helpful if you're not super familiar with the site:

Don't worry, Katie. You can tell me: Michael (above) ate it all, didn't he? :P
Yes, I have actually seen him and he looks like he could do that! 😊

The Beginner's Guide is excellent! Probably the most welcoming guide I've ever seen. Thanks, Ali and Michael!
Awesome, so glad this was helpful! 😀
