Evolution of a Developer
summary
Starts with the concrete hurdles: hitting the REPL and not knowing the words to search, choosing MongoDB and wiring it with Mongoose + Express, joining IRC/Pastebin/GitHub to share code, and iterating until a tiny robotics vector matrix module actually gets used. Early pay is $500/wk, conferences yield “five Twitter handles,” workshops spawn International Nodebots Day, and community feedback leads to job offers and real adoption.
