PSQL

Magic words:

psql -U postgres

Some interesting flags (to see all, use -h or --help depending on your psql version):

• -E: will describe the underlaying queries of the \ commands (cool for learning!)
• -l: psql will list all databases and then exit (useful if the user you connect with doesn't has a default database, like at AWS RDS)

Overview

Create a flexible but focused plan to move forward job search efforts and continue learning. This week I have a technical interview with Going Merry, a phone screen with Metal, a fundamentals check with Outco, and a video call with Teachfx. I also intend to apply to the Twilio internship. I need to build in React with Ethereum and Solidity, do some Algorithms and Data Structures, and study front-end interview questions. There were some awesome companies at the hackathon, I want to identify about 3 companies to research and apply to this week.

Story Building Workshop

"Let's get to know each other" questions

Well, long story short. I started my career in health and wellness. After college I worked as an independent personal trainer, before taking a position as a Wellness Director for a non-profit. In my career I sort of specialized in

1. Who are you? Tell me about yourself?
   • I got my start in health and wellness, first as a personal trainer... After a few years I turned my focus to corporate wellness. I took a position as the Wellness Director for a non-profit senior living facility in San Francisco.
   • As I began my work there, I started to focus my energy on dimensions of wellness outside of the realm of purely physical or nutritional.

• I focused on helping people find their passion in life through some holistic lifestyle coaching methodologies that focused primarily on emotional and spritual well-being.
