Episode 3 of our new podcast - codebar Stories - is live with the remarkable Rosa Fox 🎉 Rosa is a senior software developer who started her tech career over a decade ago. She sits down with us to discuss her tech journey, from the moment she first saw a line of code to leading the government team in charge of notifying all of the UK of the forever changing covid rules on the gov.uk website in 2020. We dive deep into her motivations for wanting codebar to come to Brighton and why sometimes taking a step back is the best thing you can do for your mental health.

We are so grateful to have 3 amazing runners running the Great South Run for us on Sunday. One of those being Emma ❤️ If you have any space change please consider making a donation, every penny goes towards keeping our workshops free and accessible for our community. And we've just learnt it is going to rain, so all donations will keep their spirits high!
This Sunday I’ll be taking on the Great South Run to raise money for the excellent folk at codebar who do amazing work to support and improve diversity in the tech industry, which is severely lacking. My training has gone well and I’m looking forward to achieving my longest running distance ever (I’m less excited about the current weather forecast!). I’d love to meet (and even exceed!) my fundraising goal to give this fantastic charity a boost in much-needed funds, so to give me some extra motivation as I run around Portsmouth in the rain, please consider donating ☺️ https://lnkd.in/e-EkJvCu
