In tech, Success isn't a solo sport

My local tech community often talks about how "Success isn't a solo sport".

As an aspiring tech professional, we need support in letting the world see how incredible we are. We appreciate shares, likes, and endorsements, as they are vital for increasing our visibility. It's essential for others to expose us to areas for growth and learning. For us, success is a collaborative effort.

In tech, you can be a fantastic developer. But you need a QA tester to identify those bugs you don't see. A designer that focuses on the user experience of the software. A product manager/business analyst to focus on the business side while you are heads-down in development. Everyone plays a part in your greatness.

“Success is not a solo sport” means that we are limited in what we can accomplish alone. Real success comes from having people in your corner. They can be a safety net while you do the heavy lifting or your partner in crime while creating awesome value. There is nothing you want to achieve that advice or help from others will not magnify your efforts.

I would love to know in the comments how people in your community have supported you on your journey.
