"What value could I provide? What would I even talk about with professionals? How would I even approach them?" I had those exact same thoughts when I first started joining Tech Twitter Spaces. Like you, I got over it by adopting a "Just try and see" mindset, and I was so happy by the positive responses that I've gotten from coders. It goes to show that our mind is powerful and can trick us into thinking we can and can't do things. Thanks for sharing your story @alexisintech! :) Keep writing, we'd love to learn more from you! :)

Thanks so much for sharing your experience, too! It honestly was one of the best things to happen to me in the tech world - getting brought in to the community to meet so many wonderful people. You included :)
