Code like a Fullstack girl updates #3

Hi, everyone!

As I'm tired of saying (and you of reading), I decided to focus almost all of my quarantine time on studying. This first week I've made the Bootcamp "Code like a Fullstack Girl", but I still can't understand how the platform promotes the course as something that "prepares you for the job market" - and even asked my resume for sending the certificate - and at the same time is something almost meaningless.

The platform itself is not that good, and I have zero professional experience inside or not the area and lying just to obtain an ornament for my LinkedIn doesn't look like something someone who's searching for a job and stability would actually do.

I had finished all 21 courses yesterday, as I said I would, and my opinion remains the same: we need more practice and less "pretending to care about your career" stuff. Besides that, why does the course name highlights the presence of women when men have more prominent roles (ranking, teaching...)? How am I supposed to "code like a Fullstack girl" if I'm being taught by men? Actually, is there any difference? Did you think about the diversity of women that could teach and mentor this project?

Even though I disliked many things about these courses, it was good to take notes about platforms, languages, and frameworks which are essential for this career. I can still remember some things that were taught, but I need to exercise my knowledge a lot if I wish to be a full stack developer.

I think that's it for this post so good night!
