Career changes aren’t built in big, dramatic moments. They’re built in small, boring, consistent actions that compound. So let’s ground this in reality: What’s one small thing you showed up for today toward your tech career? It could be: - Watching 15 minutes of a tutorial - Writing a few lines of code - Updating a resume or portfolio - Asking a question you’ve been avoiding - Blocking time on your calendar for learning No wins are too small here. Why this matters 👇 Most people trying to switch into tech don’t fail because they’re incapable. They stall because they stop noticing progress and momentum quietly dies. This thread is about building momentum, not impressing anyone. 👇 Drop your answer below (one sentence is enough). And if you’re realizing you’re showing up without a clear direction, that’s normal. It’s also fixable. That’s exactly what we help with inside Frontend Now: turning effort into a clear, structured path toward a real tech role, not just more “learning.” Let’s build this together.

Most people fail on Upwork for one simple reason…And it has nothing to do with talent, years of experience, or “not being good enough.” In this video, I did a real Upwork profile review, the kind I usually only do privately with students. I broke down the following: - Why good developers get ignored - The exact mistakes that quietly kill response rates - What clients actually look for (it’s not what you think) - How to position yourself when you’re new without lying or faking experience Here’s the uncomfortable truth👇 Most profiles don’t fail because the person can’t code. They fail because the profile doesn’t communicate trust. And trust is a skill you can learn. If you’re: - New to freelancing - Struggling to get replies - Or feel like you’re “doing everything right” but still stuck 👉 Watch this before you change anything else. I’ve been on both sides; applying and hiring and this video will save you months of guessing. 🎥 Watch here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xzd9hfP1w1g If you watch it, comment “PROFILE” and I’ll know you’re serious about fixing this instead of hoping it magically works.

If GitHub stresses you out, you’re not alone. I see so many frontend devs thinking: “I don’t have enough projects.” “My repos aren’t impressive.” “I don’t know what hiring managers even want.” Harry just dropped a YouTube video where he reviews a frontend GitHub profile and it’s honestly reassuring. Not because everything was perfect. But because it shows what actually matters: - clarity over quantity - intention over polish - real learning over flashy repos It’s one of those videos that makes you think: “Oh… I don’t need to start over. I just need to focus better.” Here’s the link if you want to watch it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nGomP2eCoyo If GitHub has been a mental block for you, this is a great place to reset your mindset.

Hey all, Harry here 👋 Had a question, we want to run some Q&A sessions for everyone interested in Frontend, Freelancing, AI etc or just anything you're curious on in the industry/tech directly with me. What days would suit you best? Kindest regards, Harry Ashton
