WHAT AM I RAMBLING

ABOUT TODAY?

• This isn't a talk about code (sorry!)
• This is a talk about how we perceive ourselves and our talents
• This is a talk about personal growth and the power of admitting that knowing nothing is not a sign of weakness
• This is a talk about how talented you are (yes, you!)

Let's get started

What was all that about?

Let's take a journey...

Can you make a hidden field on this form that will allow the site to query and then store the last page the user's visited? Using JavaScript?

That was just the start...

"I DON'T KNOW ANYTHING"

But that’s OK, because no one else really does either

Imposter syndrome

What other people know

What I know

Who knows this feeling?

This job is hard

That's the easy stuff

What other people know

What I know

I know that feel

One year later
