Context

This was a presentation at a company all-hands meeting in which I spoke about the experience I had using our product at PyCon 2016 in Portland.

The main takeaways from the presentation were:

• Product insights I had while “eating our own dogfood”.
• The value of seeing your product in the wild with real world users.
• Ideas on leveraging Guidebook’s “Learning & Development” program to level up your career while using the product for yourself.
