I have no advice, I got asked to speak at my first conference because of a silly open source thing I made that combined jQuery and MooTools. So do something silly in open source? At some point you become well known and people just ask you to speak ... So ... go start fights on twitter? Thats how you build your base. Then lighten up and everybody else will follow you too. 🤣 Sorry I have no advice really here. My wife makes this seasoned grilled chicken over sweet potatoes w/ sea salt and cilantro and then this amazing spicy/maple/onion glaze stuff. It's so good. Other than that I really like street tacos, brick oven pizza, any hamburger, and milk shakes.
Hey! Good! I'm getting hungry. Sales. You're always selling. We all forget that we are literally selling our labor as suppliers in the labor market. So don't forget to negotiate your salary. You're selling your ideas on how to architect the app, the UX, whatever. You have to be able to sell you and your ideas. I'm glad I started my career in sales. I have a list of what I want to be actually :P Here it is, straight out of my life planner thingy that I built: Present, Kind, and Helpful Spouse Gentle, Fun, and Strong Dad Dependable, and Creative Business Partner Anxiously Engaged Latter-day Saint Physically Active/Capable Charitable
Then came everdimension to him, and said, Ryan, how oft shall my co-worker pass props down a level, and I forgive them? till seven times? Ryan saith unto everdimension, I say not unto thee, Until seven times: but, Until seventy times seven. Redux is a great way to get stuff deep too.
I graduated in economics and then sold life insurance before becoming a developer. The cool thing about code is you don't need anybody to give you coding experience, you can get it yourself. Build something awesome, show it off and you'll get interviews, show it off at interviews and with any luck, you'll get a job. ...Hopefully! I've interviewed tons of developers, I loved hiring people who came to us with some enthusiasm about something they had built at work or home that was awesome.
Yeah, that's a hard balance. I think React Router keeps us grounded as technologists instead of just teachers. We have a lot of use-cases that come our way that we have to work out, so we're exposed to all the new stuff and have to figure out how it fits.
