Want to know my biggest fear?
Spiders.
But my second biggest fear is being complacent. Getting too comfortable.
The problem is... it's easy to get comfortable.
I am still to this day trying to convince myself that:
- Getting uncomfortable in a new domain is good.
- Learning a new skill is challenging, but good.
- Becoming a newbie is a good thing.
Let's talk about why we should and how we can take on new challenges -- putting us right back to beginner mode.
As with all livestreams, I'm looking forward to answering YOUR questions! So join me live and ask in the chat, or you can comment now and I can try to get it answered while I stream.
Today we focus on:
- My newsletter focused on my biggest fear in my software engineering career
- Jumping into articles/posts from LinkedIn & Reddit
- Answering YOUR questions
