The most significant source of growth for me as a developer didn’t come from any Java or Computer Architecture courses, it came from sitting in a small room with a group of people who were on the phone all day with our future clients. I would continually hear our sales pitch and notice changes when the person on the phone would go off script to address an objection. There’s real energy in these conversations, both the highs of unsticking a sale and when receiving valuable insights that lead to future development.
