Dev Fest Rift Valley

A strong believer of “Do what you love, love what you do”.

Saturday 2nd November 2019, happened to be DevFest 💃 💃 💃.
Meeting all the amazing devs in Eldy , learning, connecting and most importantly building community was my aim for that day. Don’t forget about some good food 😋 😋.

My favorite session was the game ofcos..who doesn't love playing and the codelab sessions. Geeking about FIREBASE, being the codelab facilitator, I am no expert but well talking about what you love feels so good.

Some of the lessons I learnt: —

* Give your best to communities: volunteer basically.
* Build customer first solutions.
* Find and build solutions for people within your community.
* Don’t take opportunities for granted…start small and keep growing.
* Keep sharing what you are building; the longer you seat on an idea the lesser the value.
* Work in a team: it is difficult to work alone.
* Build customer first solutions.
* Find and build solutions for people within your community.
*And maybe your co-founder, partner or even your spouse could be in the community 😜.

And many more lessons, it was simply CONNECTION BEYOND THE SCREEN.

I hope you will join more and more dev communities and of cos,
WE GROW BY HELPING EACH OTHER.

See you in the next dev event 😊 😊 😊
