QUESTION OF THE WEEK

“
What happens if you get a question asked after a talk and you don't know the answer?

An interesting thing happened yesterday at my Deep Dish talk. I got a question and I didn't know the answer—yes, I don't know everything! I'm joking here, but somehow, people didn't expect me to say "I don't know".

There was even someone that found it the highlight of the Q&A. It shows that even those that write an article every week, that seem to be very knowledgeable, still don't know everything.

You might read this and think, of course that's how it is. But still, I believe it's important to emphasize this and that's also why I didn't doubt to say "I don't know" on stage. We're all learning, we're all developers, and you can't simply know it all.
