Fear not the unknown!

and just keep learnin'

Jesse Hixson / @jhixson

“Real knowledge is to know theextent of one's ignorance.”

My development journey

Angular.js

You got directives in my markup!

<input type="number" ng-model="zip_filter" ng-show="all_zips.length">

Let's give it a shot...

React

JSX?

Let's give it a shot...

So, it turns out...

They're all awesome!

But...

What's worth learning?

Cost of learning

vs.

Benefit of new knowledge?

Time spent learning

vs.

Future time saved?

To sum up:

There's a million ways to do everything There's no way to learn everything There's no guarantee that what youlearn will be useful to you ...ever

😰

But!

Learning itself is valuable

Don't be afraid

...of things you don't immediately understand

Don't be afraid

...of trying new things and failing at first

Don't be afraid

...of asking for help

Don't be afraid

...of leaving old things behind

Don't be afraid

Don't be lazy

Don't be stubborn

Just keep learnin'
