guest: james quick, javascript developer & dev advocate
- build real projects instead of just memorizing for tests, that is how programming actually clicks
- programming skills can lead to roles beyond coding, like developer advocacy, if you have interests in speaking or content
- networking works best when it comes from genuine relationships, not transactional introductions
- communication skill is what moves developers into senior and architect level roles, not just coding ability
- start creating content now even if it is rough, consistency over time builds career opportunities and credibility
