Last year, I shared how supported I've generally felt in the tech community since I started being a more active participant in it.

I've continued to be supported this year in so many ways. I began writing about code online, and the reception by the Dev Community has been incredible. Writing those posts led to having more conversations and feeling more comfortable in sharing my own journey in becoming a better developer. Conversations online turned into speaking opportunities at meetups and conferences, with a few more to come.

I'm grateful that I've had so many positive experiences this year, and have been actively encouraged and supported by so many people. I look up to so many of you, especially my fellow lady devs, and promise to continue to support you as you've supported me while I keep coding, writing, and speaking. I could not have done it without all of you. 💚
