I think the biggest thing I've learned from Hashnode over the last year is that there are so many people all around the world on similar journeys, many a few steps ahead of you that can offer advice, and many behind you just taking their first few steps in their journey. A place like Hashnode makes the distance between us disappear, and when we're all here together we have a chance to help and learn from people we would otherwise never be able to share with! I think places like this are important.
