Salt City Code

Sometimes I really miss AIM. I used to leave away messages all the time and so did all my friends. Update people with what you're doing or put song lyrics in the away messages...I'm just not going to do that on Slack.

Hosts Kelly Corey and Karin Thorne chat about their experiences with various social media accounts over the years. They also share the results of a recent listener poll and reminisce fondly about AIM.

This episode features "Brain Power" by Mela from the album Mela two.

I think a hacker is defined as someone that has a passion for a particular topic or a particular subject field. Whether it's computers or electronics, whether it's history or art, we can all consider ourselves hackers of our own passions.

Hosts Karin Thorne and Kelly Corey chat with Mo Morsi about founding the Syracuse Innovators Guild and his journey from working at Red Hat to starting his own XRP blockchain company. We also pitch a couple of new ideas for Syracuse tech community Meetups and Mo shares why Ruby is still his favorite programming language.

I would say go for it. ... Learning any of anything is gonna help you more than wondering what to learn or trying to pick the perfect thing. Spoiler alert: there is no perfect thing. Everything has huge problems with it that are gonna cause you a lot of frustration. But if you just have perspective, well, you're able to do some really amazing things that you couldn't without it.

Hosts Karin Thorne and Kelly Corey chat with Gus Cost, programmer at Density and Careers in Code instructor, about using hardware to win a hackathon, lessons learned from teaching at a tech bootcamp for the first time, and his surprising recommendation on where to start your own programming journey. This is our most technical episode so far and features mentions of QBasic, Logo, Lisp, and PyTorch.

This episode is part II of our new series: Catching Up with Careers in Code! We chat with founders, instructors/TAs, and students of the first CiC cohort about their experience and where they'd like to see the program go in the future.

If we risk messing with things too much...I think we could risk reducing some of that community building side, right? And I think if we wanna get more of these outcomes, we need to really value and do whatever we can to amplify the network effects that come from the community we're building.

Kelly and Karin chat with Doug Crescenzi, co-founder of Hack Upstate and Upstate Interactive, about his journey from academia to entrepreneurship, how he helped launch the Careers in Code program, and the importance of connecting with your local tech community. We also talk about making opportunities available for people to advance in their tech journeys and suggest a couple of ideas for future Syracuse tech meetups.

This is our first episode recorded remotely, and Kelly didn't realize until editing the episode that she was recording with the wrong microphone. Our apologies for the audio quality on her end. It will be fixed for next time!

I was looking for a change, and on the way to a change, and then when I got involved with the bootcamp, everything changed!

It's been about six months since hosts Kelly Corey and Karin Thorne graduated from Careers in Code. We catch up on adjusting to life after class, getting more involved in the tech community, and what it's like to start a podcast. We also talk about Kelly joining the leadership team of Women in Coding and describe what it's like to be a guest on Salt City Code.

With Surge Syracuse and all of these initiatives, the idea is to keep tech local and tech resources local, and we can't do that if people can't find jobs here. We know the jobs are out there, but people need to be able to find them.

Karin and Kelly chat with Amanda Darcangelo, leader of the Syracuse chapter of Women in Machine Learning and Data Science, about her group's upcoming career fair, the importance of collaboration in the tech community, and what it means to be a tech resource in 2020. We also talk about what to bring to a career fair and speculate on the future of cover letters.

I commend people who are stuck in their ways because they're gonna be the ones that are going to be protected the most in the terrible event that something tragic does happen to us here.

Even though these are huge advances to the technology community, we still have to be concerned and be aware of the cyber risks that are imposed because if we're not, then we're gonna just make ourselves a target for those types of attacks.

Kelly and Karin chat with Ashley Oliver, Syracuse's resident cybersecurity Subject Matter Expert, about her AVR of choice, the upcoming 5G network in Syracuse, and how to get started on a career in cybersecurity. We also discuss ethical hacking, penetration testing, and the difference between antivirus and malware protection.
