Great things come in unexpected places. For Tracy Lee, an ex-boyfriend’s T-shirt sporting the Ember Tomster is what tipped her off to software development. Following curiosity and a three-week bootcamp, Tracy was hooked and ready to take on a career in coding.Today, Tracy is the CEO of This Dot Labs. She leads a team of 50 developers with a focus on reactive programming, web performance, and developer experience. Her clients and colleagues have become her closest friends and she’s always looking to help fellow developers expand their careers. When she’s not running an agency, Tracy is part of the RX Core Team (one of her many professional memberships), posting tech content to social media, and raising a new baby boy. So how does she manage it all? In this episode, Tracy talks with Chuck and Robbie about wearing every hat under the sun and wearing them well, why she loves RxJS, having hard conversations with over-eager developers, what’s so often ignored by non-technical CEOs, and what keeps Tracy motivated above all else. Key Takeaways [00:09] - A Cinco De Mayo-themed beverage review.  [02:47] - An intro to Tracy. [06:17] - What RxJS is used for.  [09:28] - How Tracy balances everything. [18:55] - Tracy’s life outside of coding, parenting, and business ownership.  [27:17] - How Tracy first got into web development.  [38:23] - Tracy’s advice for developers and the hardest pill to swallow when you’re over-eager.  [45:05] - An important conversation about whiskey and Tracy’s liquor cabinet.  Quotes[08:24] - “Check out RxJS if you have not checked out RxJS. And then if you like it, I think it takes people a little bit to wrap their heads around it because it’s a new way of thinking, but once people do I feel like people just want to RxJS all the things.” ~ @ladyleet [15:19] - “I hope I can turn my life into only doing my hobby again. So that’s my goal. Hire enough people to where I can actually not have to do all the things I don’t love.” ~ @ladyleet [29:36] - “I love development because it was so challenging to me, instead of business. I think developers go the other way, they’re like, ‘oh development’s easy, let me do business stuff because that’s challenging.’ For me it was different, I was like, ‘man this is so invigorating, this is hard and it’s awesome and I can build things and create things.’” ~ @ladyleet [35:19] - “I always talk about web performance and generally no one really wants to invest in it but performance is such a huge deal.” ~ @ladyleet Links Tracy on Twitter This Dot Labs Cutwater Spirits Bartesian Keurig RxJS Core Team Google Developer Expert GitHub Stars Microsoft MVP RxJS Angular Ember.js  ember-concurrency tc39 Proposal for Observable  Introduction to RxJS Patterns in React This Dot Media on YouTube React Ken Wheeler Cricut JavaScript Meetup ES2015 The Ember CLI GraphQL Apollo Federation Vanilla JS Sagamore Spirit Four Roses Single Barrel Blanton’s Bourbon E.H.

We have to remember that we are all human beings with social and emotional needs. Our career suffers when we fall into a pit of negativity or when we put up mental barriers that prevent us from interacting with people we might've wanted to talk to. In this episode, Tracy Lee chats about the importance of remembering that everyone, even the awesome people speaking at the conference are all human. When we idolize people it's easy to fall into the trap of thinking they're "better" than we are. We might miss out on opportunities to speak with them out of self-consciousness. Tracy also addresses how general negativity can impact our careers. She cautions against doom scrolling on Twitter and gives us some great strategies on how to surround ourselves with positivity, without burying our heads in the sand to the problems in our world.

She studied privately as a child and earned a bachelor's degree at Tyler School of Art in Philadelphia. She continued her studies in naturalism at the Florence Academy of Art in Italy.A gregarious graffiti lover, Tracy began street painting in 1998 and is considered by Madonnari peers, festival directors and viewers alike as one of the finest street painters today.  Known for splashing color in festivals and events in all corners and crevices of the globe, her paintings have won numerous awards & accolades – her only regret is that her masterpieces rarely fit on the fridge.In 2006 Tracy added the Guinness World Record to her collection of vinyl for the largest street painting by an individual.  In 2013 she was honored to be a contributor on the Cannes Gold Lion award-winning team for their work in the now iconic Honda CRV commercial.Experienced in multi-city campaigns for such clients as Cadillac, SoBe, and Dos Equis, Tracy is continually creating commissioned 3D and 4D works in chalk for advertising, public and private events, corporate PR and educational sectors. Her international team building skills have been utilized in developing street painting festivals in China, Mexico, India, Russia and throughout the United States.  Her art travels well and is always up to date on all of its shots.Tracy has been privileged and honored to serve as the US State Department's 2012 cultural ambassador.  She's toured Tajikistan and India creating 3D street paintings and teaching workshops at distinguished universities and art colleges to promote education, awareness and positive cross-cultural communication.In 2013 Tracy put on clean pants and stepped effortlessly into management as she curated the first annual DO/AC 3D Chalk Festival in Atlantic City, New Jersey, showcasing 14 renowned international 3D street art & chalk artists.Tracy's chalk conversations speak to her vast audience with imagination, beauty and playfulness – often with a thick Italian accent.Show Intro:When was a kid, I loved going to the mall when they had artists exhibitions. I could watch for hours as artist of all stripes created magic in front of passersby. I was mesmerized as the sweep of a had could create a deep forest with a shaft of light cutting through the green, a galloping horse, or a crowded street scene.When living in New York and the Philadelphia area I marveled at the graffiti artists whose mural paintings stretched the full height of buildings. Not only was I awestruck with the subject matter but the sheer size of these creations always left me wondering …How do they do that?I remember going to a Bougereau exhibit in Montreal where the paintings were huge and seeing the Night’s Watch at the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam and being transfixed as people jostled for position all around me.A few years ago, I started tuning into street art where skilled painters would use chalk to create masterful illusions of 3 dimensions on the pavement. These works, when viewed from a specific place, seemed to magically transform the warped image into a 3D experience into which you could place yourself. I have spent years teaching perspective drawing where the size of the image fits on a drafting table. This took perspective to a whole new level for me.Tracy Lee Stum is an American artist best known for her 3D street paintings made with chalk.

Talking Points: Software community activities Positive traits of a Junior Dev The value of authenticity in interviews Setting intentional career goals Knowing when to ask for help Quotable Quotes: "How do I become the best developer? How do I build the best product? You ask the people who created them and it's 'I was just trying to solve one problem.'" - TL "I would encourage everyone to just do what they want and what they are passionate about, cause that's also where sustainable things happen." - TL "Anything you do out in the community is generally just beneficial for your career." - TL "You don't have to be a senior developer to want to teach, learn and be humble." - TL "Be really intentional about the things that you do accept doing and make sure to push back where you need to because developing your skills as a developer if that's your desire, is really important to continue to do." - TL "A junior developer will find a problem and maybe they'll spend eight hours on it and that was a 10-minute fix. If you don't speak up, you're not going to learn as fast." - TL "Probably as a junior, asking how to fish and learning how to fish, not just getting the answer, is going to be really important." - TL Notes:Tracy's Business Websitelabs.thisdot.coTracy’s Twittertwitter.com/ladyleetTracy's Emailtracy@thisdot.coJunior to Senior Communitycommunity.juniortosenior.io
