The Whys, the Hows, and the Outcomes
Keep calm and forget FOMO
Fear of missing out (FOMO) is a social anxiety stemming from the belief that others might be having fun while the person experiencing the anxiety is not present.
It is characterized by a desire to stay continually connected with what others are doing.
Does FOMO pay off?

Keep calm and forget FOMO (green screen)

Keep calm and forget FOMO (green screen)
Nowadays, we are bombarded with new frameworks, new libraries, new patterns. How could you manage this swollen river of knowledge? Should you know a bit of everything or should you concentrate on just one thing? There is no right answer but I would like to tell you my journey with Cypress: the whys, the hows, the results, and the by-products. I dedicated one month only to Cypress, I experimented with new learning paths, I returned to public speaking... And I knew tons of people. I received a lot of feedback, I wrote a GitHub book and I taught some courses. It worked pretty well for me and it shaped a new way of learning from now on.
