Discussion of the Week #9

I first became active in developer communities this year, when I joined Tokyo Dev, Women Who Code Tokyo, and Creative Tokyo. I was able to become a lightning talk speaker for all three communities and was met with warm support from its members despite feeling imposter syndrome.

I was able to discuss what it's like working in Japan as a foreigner with the developers in Tokyo Dev, working as a woman in tech with Women Who Code, and bring out my creative side with the people from Creative Tokyo.

How important do you think it is to have a community of like-minded individuals in your journey as a developer? Share your experiences in the comments below!
