The More I see, the less I know for sure
-John Lennon
The parallels between being a musician and being a developer are uncanny
It all starts with passion and motivation
(spoiler alert)
Most of us are probably not going to be rockstars
THe Learning Never stops
Community and mentorship is key
The perception of perfection
Focusing on the task at hand without losing the bigger picture
Hurry up an wait
Music & code; Universal languages
Rules were made to be broken.
Break it down now Y'all
The blinking cursor
The Joy of creation
THanks!
