It’s one thing to go to a conf and learn theory another thing to have first hand experience.

It’s like saying you can become a good programmer and have a good company culture by going to conferences.

It ain’t going to happen.

Once you have N years, and see and solve X problems you won’t be experienced.

A big thing about getting first hand experience is learning what questions you even need to ask!

When you first start, you don't even know what you don't know. All the conferences in the world aren't going to help you if you don't know which problems you need help solving.
