Another entry in my “preparing to share” series where i’m hoping to give an open look at preparing my first 2 conference talks
preparing to share: promos & outlines
people & technology
preparing to share: freaking out a little
Does public speaking excite you and yet make you freak out a little?
It sure does for me. As my first conference talks draw closer, I’m starting to have small waves of anxiety & doubt at the prospect of speaking about Kotlin to a room full of people.
They are infrequent, but in the moment, I totally feel like everyone there is going to know more about the topic than I am.
One Path to Tech?
I really enjoy chatting with people starting a journey into tech; hearing about their challenges, successes, struggles, worries, etc.
It really illustrates the barriers present when starting a career.
Some of these are inherent and part of the nature of learning anything new. Learning is a challenge. Developing a new skill set is not easy, and learning to apply it in the real world even less so.
However, there are some barriers which, I believe, are largely due to a flawed system, and I think are easy to lose sight of once you’re past them (or never encountered at all)

I’m trying something new
