Archana’s blog about her Google Interview Experience got 2.8K reads!

In her own words:

“Last year in the month of July to September. I have gone through my Google Interview. Though I can’t make it in the 3rd round but have learned a lot more in my whole life time. So I have written a blog covering the whole process of my interview experience for those who wanted to know.”




I thought I must share this as a post.♥️✨ (I saw it's on trending when I open google new stories😯) . I guess it is not too late to share that, it's been more than two months I was gone through my GOOGLE Interview. ♥️ . I'm very happy that after clearing two rounds I got a chance to go through my first ever technical interview. Unfortunately I can't make it that's the other thing but the whole 3 months journey is countless for me forever. I have learned a lot and fallen in love with Algo.🙈🥰🌼 . Thank you soo much Sarah Yang(my recruiter) throughout the whole interview process. 🙂 . And here is the write-up that covered whole experience of my Google Interview: bit.ly/googletechinterview . . . . . . #interview #googleinterview #algorithm #datastructures #womenwhocode #webdev #javascript #codingdays #dev_girls #madewithcode #codegirl #girldeveloper #devlife #girlprogrammer #girlswhocode #girlsintech #femaleintech #codingqueen #bossbabe #thefutureisfemale #codingdays #dev_girls #techgirls #womeninstem #coderworlds #thedevlife #developerspace #the_dev_story #programmer_republic

Mikaela had her first in-app purchase!

Mikaela released the game “Gibbs Crew Trivia” in February this year – with a goal of getting experience adding an app in the App Store. She wasn’t aiming for a certain number of downloads or sales, but this is such a wonderful milestone!

Congratulations, Mikaela!! This is incredible and just the first sale with many to come!




I have my very first sale! 🥳 . I released the game “Gibbs Crew Trivia” on February 14,2020. (Link in bio @mikaelacaron ) . I don’t really check the stats about downloads or sales because it’s not about the money or about the download numbers. . I wanted to get experience adding an app in the App Store, “a real app,” that I built myself without the help of a step by step tutorial. . The fact that I have one sale and any downloads is awesome 🥳 . What was your first app or first sale? Let me know! . You can download my app from the link in my bio! It’s a trivia game for the show NCIS.

Resources 👩‍💻

Sepideh says:

“I found this a very good source for a dedicated programmer! It’s a must read for all software engineers!”

And a few resources created and shared by me, that you might find especially useful now!

We live in very strange and disorienting times. Everyone’s daily routines have been changed drastically and there’s so much uncertainty in the air – because no one knows how long we will be in this state for or what will happen tomorrow. So how do you find clarity and direction amongst this chaos?

If you find yourself yearning to help with the current crisis, you’re in the right place! I’ve tried to compile as many international organisations and initiatives helping with the current situation as I could find.

As more people are working from home these days – to prevent the spread of COVID-19, I want to share my secret to staying productive when working from home. I’ve worked from home for years now and guess what is the biggest secret to productivity when doing that? Getting dressed!

Practising gratitude on a regular basis has changed my life. Let me tell you why and how you can start incorporating it into your daily routine.


Please let me know your thoughts in the comments below and if you’d like to share something for next week’s issue, here’s the submission form!! Bookmark that and add anything you’d like to share in there 🙂
