The alum channel from alchemy doesn’t get a lot of activity. But someone brought it to my attention today because it was all about me.
Names redacted, but suffice it to say that these include some of the top performers from class who were rapidly picked up by local employers.

I earned a reputation for favoring succinct code and used to challenge myself to write single line solutions. Yes, imperative code is not an aspirational thing when it comes to production. However, code golf can be entertaining and enlightening in the learning process. I also used to call myself ‘the class ambassador for ternaries.’ #nerd
I have it on good authority that I received the highest grade in the class, but I admit, not totally fair because I had considerable self-taught experience where most others did not.
Anyhow, glad to see that folks have internalized me! 😊
