What this episode covers

They say that if you're the smartest person in the room you should find a different room to be apart of but no-one really talks about what to do once you're in the right room i.e. when you're the dumbest person in the room (ideally by a longshot). I've been fortunate to have jumped into the career of software engineering and after over a year the people who've mentored me say that they're surprised that I've been doing it for such a short amount of time. In the name of reflection of this chapter and helping to do the same (regardless off profession or discipline) here's my guide on how to be the dumbest person in the room and come out ahead.
