<p>I am student at Ada Developers Academy where I am training to become a software engineer. We are learning Ruby, Rails, HTM & CSS, JavaScript, test-driven development, and agile and pair-programming practices. A major part of why Ada appeals to me is its <a href="http://adadevelopersacademy.org/program">social-justice mission</a> to help women and people of non-binary gender succeed in tech.</p>
<p>Coding and parenting take up most of my time these days, but I have been known to enjoy running on trails in Seattle's many beautiful parks, reading, watching sitcoms, following politics, knitting, eating french fries, and catching up on sleep.</p>
<p>I maintain a very spotty social media presence across too many platforms:</p>

I feel like your alt attributes could be more descriptive here. Remember that the main purpose of an alt description is to accurately describe what the image is, both for screen readers and in case the image fails to load. Does "knit" accurately describe this image, or would "ravelry logo" suit better? Similarly for "insta" and "fb", as well as "git" on your code page.

You never seem to use any of these classes ("podcasts", "knitting", "sociolinguistics", etc) in your CSS or elsewhere. What purpose do they serve, and why do each of your interests have their own class?

<h4>Podcasts</h4>
<p>I spend more time than I should listening to podcasts. Below are some of my current favorites. Subscribe to these podcasts through your favorite podcast app (I use the native Podcast iphone app).</p>
<ul>
<li><a href="https://www.buzzfeed.com/anotherround" target="_blank">Another Round with Heben and Tracy</a><p>Heben and Tracy interview so many interesting people and ask such good questions. They get to the point while being funny and sharp. Some highlights for me: #57 (with poet Jenny Zhang), #28 (with Hillary Clinton), and #3 (with Issa Rae, before her show Insecure came on). And a million others I won't list here (Ta-Nehisi Coates! Padma Lakshmi! Melissa Harris-Perry! Janet Mock!)</p></li>
<li><a href="https://gimletmedia.com/show/startup/all/season-1/" target="_blank">StartUp (Season One)</a><p>Alex Blumberg hosts this podcast which documents his efforts to start a podcast media company. So much great behind-the-scenes detail; the highlights for me were the interactions between Blumberg and his wife Nazanin Rafsanjani. Later seasons document other startups and companies and I did not find them as compelling but continued to listen (*spoiler alert*) so I could hear for updates on Gimlet (the media company Blumberg founded and now runs).</p></li>
<li><a href="http://www.npr.org/sections/monkeysee/129472378/pop-culture-happy-hour" target="_blank">Pop Culture Happy Hour</a><p>This was I think my gateway podcast. It's from NPR and a pretty lighthearted but thoughtful review of movies, tv, books, and sometimes music. They have a rotating cast who take turns filling in the fourth seat for their weekly roundtable discussions. Two of my faves are Audie Cornish and Barrie Hardymon </p></li>
<li><a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2017/01/30/podcasts/the-daily-get-ready-for-the-daily-your-audio-news-report.html">The New York Times Daily</a><p>A daily look at major news events with an in-depth look at one main story. I listen to the Daily on my commute.</p></li>

Why have a class called .nav? Could you avoid the div and style the more semantic <nav> tag directly?

<nav>
<ul>
<li><a href="portfolio.html">code</a></li>
<li><a href="blog.html">other</a></li>
<li><a href="about.html">me</a></li>

<p>Nice to have you here. My name is Sai Samant. I am currently learning to code at <a href="http://www.adadevelopersacademy.org">Ada Developers Academy</a> in Seattle, WA. Check out some of my <a href="portfolio.html">projects</a>. I spend a lot of time listening to <a href="blog.html">podcasts</a>. And here is some other maybe <a href="about.html">fun stuff</a> about me.</p>
