I've got a new homelab setup. I affectionately call it JWS, or JSON's Web Services. What started as a single core i3 NUC running Ubuntu server in 2017 has become much, much more. Let's take a trip down memory lane and reflect on the beginnings of this journey.

The refresh needed a refresh. That became a framework switch and site rendering change. But let me explain why...

Another year, another update on my remote, travelling setup for work and play... I skipped this series in 2021, mostly because I only traveled a handful of times. 2022? We've already been to Alaska, San Franicisco, South Carolina and Mexico City, so here's what my current road warrior setup looks like.

Today, I waved farewell to the Bay Area, hopped on a one-way flight, and landed in my new home in South Florida. Miami-Dade. 305. *cue Pitbull*

and now, we're in Miami

On this day, in 2020, I had on my Coursera blue swag t-shirt, a hair cut, a new pair of kicks, and a birghtly lit office room (with my now "infamous" sneaker wall as the backdrop), onboarding at the next stop on my professional journey...

I had the amazingly fun opportunity to sit down with Lauren Lee, or LoloCoding as she's known on most places, as a guest on her podcast "We Belong Here", which covers all sorts of amazing journeys and unconventional paths to careers in technology.

After a few years of teaching web development bootcamps, both online and in-person, I've started to branch out and do live code projects and walkthroughs on Twitch!

I've finally decided on the project I want to develop for the Dev + Twilio Hackathon: A Mood Tracking SMS app to make it easy, no matter your internet speed...

Michael Kennedy over at talkpython.fm and I had a good chat just talking about how we have adopted over the course of our careers to being remote, our beginnings in programming, and what we can do to support those who have never worked before adopt to this lifestyle in this time of Coronavirus. 

I'm on Episode 258 of Talk Python to Me!

The synopsis for the episode is so perfect that I'm going to share it here:

"Jayson Phillips is a self-proclaimed graduate of the University of Barnes and Noble. This week we talk to Jayson about working for a bootcamp, learning to code, and dig into some fun tech like flutter, Golang, and Rust."

 order in California, I was fortunate enough to have 16 bright spots during this time. They are the 16 awesome developers who just completed their final projects in the Full Stack web development cohort I taught at University of Denver!

I had the immense pleasure of speaking with Scott Hanselman on the topic of being a remote employee in a technological function. Scott's being doing this forever, and I've been doing it for a couple of years now, so it was a great exchange of ideas and experiences of what has worked and not worked for us as professional WFHers.

What's in my Bag? 2020 Edition

and now, we're off to build the future of finance

I figured it’d be cool to list out what I typically have on me at any given time as it pertains to development/creative pursuits. It does mix and match depending on what I’m doing, but there’s some standards that are consistent throughout...
