The wonder of choice
Let's start with a story
My own journey to space
Ahh, JavaScript
It wasn't.
What now? Die in space?
A choice: choosing a different mindset
Why did I become a front-end developer?
State of Web Development today
front-end developers!
front-end developers...or JavaScript Developers?
front-end developers...or JavaScript Developers? or JavaScript Engineers?
I know! Ninja Rockstar Unicorn!
Innovation? Is it?
We already had this solution
The choices we have
Choice #1: How we consider others
A choice we could make: develop in isolation
Real Conversations
A choice we could also make: listen to experience of those outside the tech bubble
Real Conversations
What we can do
Choice #2: How we create
We could choose to copy/paste
Real Conversations
Another choice we could make: we could craft with intent
What does that look like?
New feature request
Thinking about the task
Choice #3: Focusing our energy
A choice we could make: complaining about the toxic
So many terrible things
Another choice: amplify the excellent
So many delightful things!
We always have a choice
Thank you!
