True, the system unfairly targets students from low income backgrounds because their address is a factor in the algorithm. As if we need the gap between high and low income students to grow any more 🙄
It's frankly grim reading about #alevelresults state school students missing their offers from Oxbridge - this hits close to home as it would have been me (AABC AS grades -> A*A*AB A2). Unfortunately some colleges don't give two shits, surely this is time for the Uni to step in

Super cool and useful new features on sls-dev-tools, try it out if you're using serverless
v1.0.2 You can view all your stack resources from within the tool. Simply use your left and right arrow keys on the lambda table to view your stack resources such as API Gateway, Dynamo DB and SNS! More functionality coming to this soon! #Serverless #slsDevTools

Get in bed at the same hour every night and sleep at least 7 hours. No "Saturday party" excuse for this one this time. :D

It's important to take care of your mental health during quarantine. Eat lunch by the window if you can, exercise if you can, and stay in touch with friends and family. Does anyone else have tips to share?

Woo great article about @embolden_her and being a woman in a male-dominated industry.

Super exciting! Can't wait to have a big community of London women in tech to go to conferences with, meet for coffee, and share our experiences.
We've just launched a new @discordapp server. It's a chat room service with several chat rooms for different topics. Get to know other women in tech in London, find people to go to conferences with, and get notifications about our future events. discord.gg/MbP6phq

Really enjoying the new features in Python 3.8, especially the self-documenting f-strings and the positional-only arguments
