#TECHSKILLSMAGIC
A magician can’t make you go WOW if you don’t believe in their tricks. The same goes for absorbing new tech skills. Getting to the pinnacle of knowledge confidence takes a lot more than experience. It takes belief in the goal.
Learning something new for your job is a commitment of time for self-learners and money and time for workers who purchase skill booster courses. Personally, I am a jump into the thick of it and figure it out style of learner. I attend workshops, watch explainer videos, read, code and try stuff. I have boosted up severs at home to poke at and do things I personally have no need to know in my personal life. I think it is important to tackle tech problems you have never seen before.
Great software coders are versatile. It does not matter what language you specialize in, a Google Level 5 software engineer said, because once you are hired and on projects, one day you may be working in NODE.JS, the next PHP or REACT and the next who knows — it could be any software language and you are expected to come up to speed quickly on it. This writer thinks it is cool to place a Tech Support when you need to. You will be surprised how many times what you need to know is totally undocumented.
