Mod 4 - Your Unique Narrative [presented to a panel of alumni & outsiders]

1: What is one thing you learned in Mod 4 that you will take with you into the job?

Mod 4 has definitely taught me to diversify my skillset. To be ready for what jobs come my way no matter the stack. Because with enough can do attitude we can learn just about any stack with enough practice, now that we have a base understanding of the fundamentals.
I have also learned to always be hustling, until that first job comes. After which we should focus on proving our value, for our next big leap.

2: Weaving it all together, how will you be successful in the workplace?

Mod1 we were stuck with the old clunky legacy code
- We embraced the unknown and the scary and really kindled our passion for web development
Mod2 we were hit with a firehose of information

I found inspiration for this topic while watching Black Mirror. I would like to bring up the ground breaking technology of Arnav Kapur's Augmented Reality device into discussion. I hope to spark discussion on the challenges we'll face as we move towards a future of hyper intellegence.
