I can't keep this to myself! It's giving me hope there is a better chance that I could get a job. @pythpiper suggested adding my coding experience to my linkedin and resume. So here I am, adding "Python Dev" to my list of experience.

See thread for details

By adding this to my LinkedIn, it shows I know all sorts of things. It shows experience with git, python, html, css, bulma, flask, heroku, ci/cd, and all sorts of other things.

By adding it to my resume, it does the same as it does for LinkedIn. Except now it's in the front and easily visible to recruiters and employers who may not have otherwise looked at me.

Add your code experience to your resume & LinkedIn

job title = developer
company = independent
description = include your projects, repos, @ThePracticalDev posts, community things, speaking things, twitch stuff, anything that shows you know your shit

I can't make any guarantees that this will help me or anyone else, but it feels like it could. It feels like this will help. I can imagine it will help anyone who is feeling like they have to extra prove themselves because they don't have a CS degree or a bootcamp.
