I started out as a graphic designer. Web-development was just a tool to bring my creativity to life. As I couldn't keep up with everything going on in the design and development world, I made a tough decision to focus just on web development. Thinking that my life will be easier now, I surprisingly saw that there are so many different paths you can take as a dev- full-stack, backend, frontend, DevOps, etc.

Agenda:
00:00 - Beginning
01:45 - The pros and cons of a specialist
