Upgrade Yourself: Most Valued Developer

In programming we know countless ways to solve the same problem. The same is true with professional growth. No two paths are alike and you control your own destiny. I'm thrilled to share my failed attempts and the lessons-learned. We'll clear your path - where every challenge is an opportunity. From blogging to speaking. From open-source contributions to stackoverflow Q/A. From attending conferences to organizing them. We will take on impostor syndrome and grow together! You'll see how becoming a social developer can launch your career to the next level.

But also "Have a Voice"

Don't expect anything... but appreciate everything

Praise others around you
Give thanks and high fives (while wearing a fanny-pack)

	1) Identify
	2) Recreate
	3) ...

Frustration
It must be possible

Fix it, learn from it, and grow
