We learn from those around us, whether it be through articles, walkthroughs, well-written code, videos, meetup and conference talks, Twitter, StackOverflow, etc. No matter our educational background, we have all benefited greatly from the vast number of resources available in the community. Together, we’ll see how shifting our mindset from "self-taught" to "community-taught" recognizes these resources as well as the responsibility we all have as members of the community to be responsible in and with it, to help sustain it, and to make it available to others who are in different stages of their educational journey.
