Friday Finds: The Best of Learning, Design & Technology | October 26, 2018

If we stop going, we stop learning…and if we’re not willing to keep learning, we should probably stop going. – Seth Godin

Whew! What a week it has been. DevLearn is wrapping up this morning and I’m very grateful for all the great conversations with old friends and meeting some wonderful new ones. I’m looking forward to some reflection time and the chance to dig deeper into all resources and new things I discovered this week….right after a goods nights sleep. Wherever you are I hope you have a great and restful weekend. Cheers!
