This lightning talk covers the growth and advancement of developer skills through community connections. It highlights the benefits, networks and opportunities that come from being part of tech communities like WordPress.
As someone who is a product of community, I can attest that community exposed me to things I never would have encountered in a classroom. This talk is an energiser for developers and tech enthusiasts to join existing tech communities, create new ones and build supportive, inclusive spaces for others.
While attending WordCamp Mukono earlier this year, I reflected on my journey and made a personal commitment to apply as a speaker at the next nearby WordCamp that opened its call for speakers.
