The first time I watched Naruto and Doraemon (Japanese Series), I hated a few characters. They were annoying or just made no sense to me. Then I grew up, watched the same shows again, and suddenly I was relating to those same characters. Some of the characters I hated became the ones I liked the most.
I have seen the same thing happen in my career and in developer communities.
People I did not understand the first time, conversations I did not value, communities I did not connect with, or decisions I questioned often looked very different when I came across them again. Not because they changed, but because I did. Over the years, I have travelled across 15+ countries and spent time in developer communities around the world. That gave me a lot of opportunities to meet the same kinds of people, have similar conversations, make similar mistakes, and look at familiar situations from a completely different perspective.
The Art of Repetition is not about doing the same thing again. It is about seeing what you missed the first time.
In this talk, I will share some of those stories and what repeating experiences taught me about people, community, career, and growing up.
