 G'day, I'm Benjamin Lupton and I've been doing JavaScript for a very long time And one of the things I've realized is that at times things to me very very overwhelming Sometimes you can feel that the amount of stuff we have to keep up to date with in our industry is Always changing this always new stuff coming out and it can just make you feel like you can never keep on with it I like to propose that you can't keep up with it And that's a good thing because if you try to keep up with things Right, then you will just spend your whole time playing catch up you'll just spend your whole time learning all these different things and If your time is going towards learning these different things You're not going to have time to create something And if you don't have time to create something and you don't have time to be able to learn or really Practice the skills and get real good at them and it's important for which skills you need to practice You're going to practice the skills that are going to be deprecated in the six months But you're going to practice the skills that are going to land you a firm job in Six months are you going to learn the skills that are going to help your career path as you go forward and Most importantly as you go about learning these things Are you going to make sure you're effective in the way you learn? Are you going to be learning these things in ways that will actually matter most people will probably learn through these Tutorials and learn through okay. I've learned this technology now. What can I create with it? But perhaps what we should be asking is I've got this problem that is important to me and What technology will solve that problem technology is a tool. It's not the solution the solution is how all these things come together and That's really what we need to be focused on. We need to be focusing Not on learning everything, but on look for learning what's important. We have to be focused on Working on things that are in demand learning skills that are in demand And we have to be focused on creating something that is important to us Right something where the technology doesn't matter Right where we can have an objective opinion where we can cut out We have to focus on things that we can get stuff done today And that's talk and I hope to see you there Thanks
