I have a lot of fears right now that I'm no longer of use to the webdev community. Out of sync, no hands-on experience in 2+ years. Seeking.

@mollydotcom 2+ years is nothing compared to a lifetime of experience/knowledge. What we can't quantify is often what is most important.

@madebyregina Oh, I like that "What we can't quantify...most important" comment. That's powerful, a useful tool. Thank you :)

@mollydotcom You're not alone in feeling this way. The same thing that makes you YOU is what makes you relevant. Back on that horse!

@mollydotcom Pah! Codswallop! Your experience of community, people, education, the web… all adds up to wisdom. Can’t lose that in 2 yrs.

@mollydotcom your work helped launch my career in this field 15+ years ago! I echo others' sentiments on relevance of wisdom & experience.

@mollydotcom All web dev has been outsourced to a group of contractors in orbit as of 2014.

@mollydotcom No Way! At a bare minimum (& you are anything but that!), you are a shining example that one person can make a difference.

@mollydotcom I would love the chance to hear you speak sometime. & I imagine so many others would love to hear stories, personal and pro.

@imtheis @mollydotcom exactly. New web devs, but also more experienced ones, often lack context to guide their decision. You can provide it
