There is a common belief that developers work in isolation. You may choose to develop alone but human beings are social creatures and the ability to communicate, and collaborate with others play an important role in success. It reminds me of an African proverb:

"If you want to go quickly, go alone. If you want to go far, go together."

In this talk, I'll share my story - how being part of a community helped shape me into the person I always aspired to be. I'll discuss how it can assist you in your journey, whether you're just starting out or already a pro in the field. By delving into how a community can offer support, motivation, skill development, knowledge transfer, peer mentorship, and networking opportunities. We'll also explore how it can help boost your personal brand.

At the end of the talk, attendees will have a clear understanding of how being part of a community can do wonders for their growth as a developer.
