I gave my first public Tech Talk last night about the Class Keyword in Javascript and I was actually giddy! It was so fun to share this niche knowledge with people and everyone was so kind and receptive with it.
I'll be sharing the video soon so keep an eye out. Next goal, conference speaking!

This is such a good post! It's the bitter truth that many developers refuse to swallow, in my experience.
I get it, writing new things is fun but it's just not what the job usually entails. We must learn to balance economic reality in our expectations or we'll be miserable.

It's only been a couple weeks and I already love, love, love my PKM with @obsidian.md. I would highly recommend it to anyone but especially newer developers who are having to ingest a lot of information quickly.

It's on my work bucket list to get to travel for work one day.
The only positive of traveling a lot for work is that you’re always half packed anyways

After reading a talk on my friend @braydoncoyer.dev's website (which is amazing and you should totally check it out) I was inspired to try a PKM! Recs welcome.
I tend to be an analog note person myself, but I think that this will be helpful as I drink from the hose of learning during my job hunt!
