  4. Surround Yourself with Smart People • Join/participate in communities (Meetup,

    Slack, Reddit) • Find a mentor • Ask for help when you need it

  5. Share Your Knowledge • Write a blog post • Update

    documentation • Help people in your communities

  6. Take a Deep Breath Relax! You’ve got this.
