I would like an answer to that too. I'm the youngest member of my team so the older more 'experienced' teammates are really good with politics.
We have a new project coming up and I basically was the one implementing the initial architecture, I showed them how to use the linux terminal, gitflow.
I am the dev with the fewest number of bugs reported, they are always on meeting about issues. They take the most visible, interesting features.
Yet during meetings, people talk to them more because they are older, so they basically take most of the credit.
You manage the barrier by learning the language. Sorry if it sounds harsh, but I've noticed something with English Speaking folks, they don't want to learn another language. They want people to speak English to them.
How do you define tech?
Did the invention of printed paper improve our lives?
Did the invention of the pen improve our lives?
Did the invention of penicillin improve our lives?
etc....
I think it makes our lives easier, but anything can be misused.
Planes can drop bombs, they can also rescue hurricane victims.
Books can educate, they can also spread propaganda.
It all depends on the motivation behind the use of the tech.
That makes a lot of sense. I have been battling with the paradox of choice. Everyday I try to start a new project but instead I just keep on googling Angular vs React, Asp.net vs Django.
I have a windows computer and visual studio seems like the best tool I can use , so simple to set up. I enjoy working with it, maybe I should take the risk and just dive into that technology.
