To all developers who strive for continuous self-improvement… Who are not satisfied with good enough Who always seek every opportunity to expand their horizons and explore the unknown Whose thirst for knowledge is never fully quenched Who believe that software development means more than just writing code Who know that failure is not the end, but merely a step in the journey Who struggle at times, and sometimes fall, but always get back up again Who have the will and determination to seek the harder path in life And, most importantly, who are willing to help others along the way
