The verdict is pretty consistent on this:
判决对此非常一致：
Getting connected to a community is one of the best things you can do for your growth and career as a developer.
与社区建立联系是您发展和成长为开发人员时可以做的最好的事情之一。
The list of developer (and non-developer) communities is growing every day, and if you think about it, this isn’t a surprise.
开发人员(和非开发人员)社区的列表每天都在增长，如果您考虑一下，这不足为奇。
The developer community is similar in character and personality to other groups in fields like academia or science. People within the community genuinely want to help and resource one another.
开发人员社区的性格和个性与学术界或科学界的其他群体相似。 社区中的人们真正地希望互相帮助和提供资源。
If you’re like many people (including me), you may find it hard to believe that such a lucrative field like programming could produce so many generous participants. The fact of the matter is that there is so much to gain from engaging with other developers.
如果您和许多人(包括我)一样，您可能会很难相信像编程这样的有利可图的领域会吸引那么多慷慨的参与者。 事实是，与其他开发人员合作有很多好处。
Here are a few reasons you should get involved in a developer community today:
以下是您今天应加入开发人员社区的一些原因：
一路帮助 (Help Along the Way)
This one is fairly obvious, but it’s also extremely understated. No matter how much you offer to the developer community, it will always give you more in return.
这是相当明显的，但它也被大大低估了。 无论您向开发人员社区提供多少，它都将始终为您提供更多回报。
(My favorite online community right now is IndieHackers.)
(我现在最喜欢的在线社区是 IndieHackers 。)
When I first started to show interest in code, I met one of the developers at the company I work for through a mutual friend. I expressed my interest in learning code, and he immediately offered some advice.
刚开始对代码表现出兴趣时，我通过一个共同的朋友认识了我工作的公司的一名开发人员。 我表达了对学习代码的兴趣，他立即提供了一些建议。
He suggested a few resources and learning platforms to get my feet wet. I maintained a connection with him throughout my learning journey, and as soon as I felt comfortable with the basics of what I was learning (at the time it was HTML and CSS), he offered for me to take some of his smaller freelance jobs.
他提出了一些资源和学习平台，以帮助我着迷。 在整个学习过程中，我一直与他保持联系，当我对所学知识(当时是HTML和CSS)感到满意后，他就提议我从事一些较小的自由职业。
This was huge!
这是巨大的 ！
Even today as I have moved on to new technologies and am learning different things, my friend continues to offer suggestions and guidance. As of late, I have been learning Laravel and I reached out about a bug I kept running into. We jumped on a call and he helped me fix the bug I was stuck on.
即使在今天，当我继续学习新技术并学习不同的东西时，我的朋友仍在继续提供建议和指导。 直到最近，我一直在学习Laravel，并且了解了我不断遇到的错误。 我们接了电话，他帮我解决了我遇到的问题。
The value he’s been able to offer me has been tremendous in my journey to learn code. I can honestly say that I would not be as far as I am today without his help.
在学习代码的过程中，他能够提供给我的价值是巨大的。 老实说，没有他的帮助，我将不会像今天这样。
And that is just one person! The developer community is full of people just like my friend who are eager to help and offer guidance.
那只是一个人！ 就像我的朋友一样，开发者社区中挤满了渴望帮助和提供指导的人。
I know that people like him and others who I have met through online communities like IndieHackers will continue to be a source of help as I learn and grow as a developer.
我知道像他这样的人以及我通过IndieHackers这样的在线社区结识的其他人，在我学习和成长为开发人员的过程中将继续成为帮助的来源。
产品感 (Product Sense)
Have you ever noticed that the best products have that “it” factor? Often it’s hard to see what “it” is, but you can definitely tell that “it” makes one product better than the next.
您是否曾经注意到最好的产品具有这一“因素”？ 通常很难看到“它”是什么，但是您可以肯定地说“它”使一种产品比另一种更好。
This is called product sense! It’s the ability to see, understand, and create products and tools that people will love.
这就是所谓的产品感！ 它是查看，理解和创建人们会喜欢的产品和工具的能力。
(One of my favorite places to develop some product sense is Product Hunt. It’s a quick place to see what products are getting attention right now.)
(我最喜欢发展某种产品意识的地方之一是 Product Hunt 。这是一个快速查看当前正在引起关注的产品的地方。)
When you start rubbing shoulders with other developers, you often get to see what they are making. Along the way, you’ll see some products that are really great and others that are really bad. Make sure to pay attention to this. Look at the great products and take note of what makes them great. Do the same with the not-so-great products. Try to avoid the mistakes that they are making.
当您开始与其他开发人员并肩作战时，通常会看到他们在做什么。 在整个过程中，您会看到一些很棒的产品，还有一些真的很差的产品。 请务必注意这一点。 查看优质的产品，并记下使它们很棒的原因。 对不太好的产品也要这样做。 尽量避免犯错误。
The more involved and engaged you are in the developer community, the quicker you will be able to develop product sense.
您在开发人员社区中的参与和参与程度越高，您就能越快地开发产品意识。
You’ll find that the things you build will start to look and feel better. They will have better design, better user experiences, and better systems holding them up.
您会发现所构建的东西将开始看起来和感觉更好。 他们将拥有更好的设计，更好的用户体验以及更好的系统来支撑它们。
The beautiful thing about product sense is that it is and should always be evolving. Cultures shift, technologies advance, and people take interest in different things. As long as you stay connected to a community, you will always be able to see what people are building and consuming.
关于产品感的美丽之处在于它一直并且应该一直在发展。 文化在变化，技术在进步，人们对不同的事物产生了兴趣。 只要您与社区保持联系，您就始终能够看到人们正在建设和消费的东西。
通常在开始之前就有信心 (The Confidence to Start Before You Normally Would)
This one is huge.
这个很大。
A big concept in the tech and product worlds is MVP (Minimum Viable Product). This is essentially the most basic, stripped-down version of your product, and it’s what most successful founders will tell you to start with.
技术和产品领域的一个重要概念是MVP(最小可行产品)。 从本质上讲，这是产品的最基本，最精简的版本，这是大多数成功的创始人都会告诉您的内容。
The most common roadblock new founders face is that they don’t know when they’ve built enough to call something an MVP. Most of the time, they build far beyond their MVP before they eventually launch. This obviously pushes them back in time when they could have already been serving customers.
新创始人面临的最常见障碍是，他们不知道何时建立了足以称呼其为MVP的产品。 在大多数情况下，最终发布之前，它们的构建远远超出了MVP。 显然，这将使他们回到原本可以为客户提供服务的时间。
The same is true when people are learning to program. When I first started to learn code I often found myself overwhelmed with the amount of information that was out there, always feeling like there was more that I needed to learn before I could actually start to build something.
人们在学习编程时也是如此。 当我刚开始学习代码时，我常常发现自己不知所措，那里的信息量总是让我感到不知所措，然后才真正开始构建某些东西。
Getting involved in a community can help you avoid this hurdle. You cannot underestimate the value of interacting with someone who is further down the road than you.
加入社区可以帮助您避免这种障碍。 您不能低估与比您更远的人进行交流的价值。
As I found encouragement from other developers, I started to build projects sooner than I otherwise would have. I actually found that this helped to speed up my learning process.
当我受到其他开发人员的鼓励时，我开始比以前更早地构建项目。 实际上，我发现这有助于加快学习过程。
Right now, you probably know more than you think you do, and you’re more capable than you think you are.
现在，您可能比想像的要了解更多，并且您的能力比想像的要强。
您原本不会拥有的机会 (Opportunities You Would Not Otherwise Have)
If you don’t already know, the marketplace is built on relationships.
如果您还不知道，那么市场就是建立在关系上的。
Yes, you should be knowledgeable and capable, but there is truth in the saying, “it’s not what you know, it’s who you know.”
是的，您应该知识渊博，能力强，但是俗话说：“这不是您所知道的，而是您所认识的人。”
No matter how big the organization or project, people are what keep things moving forward and growing. People are the entity that makes decisions about an organization. People make things unique and creative. And people are what separate decent products and organizations from great ones.
无论组织或项目有多大，人都是推动事情向前发展的动力。 人是制定组织决策的实体。 人们使事物变得独特而富有创意。 人是将优质产品和组织与优质产品和组织区分开来的。
People are inextricably connected to the opportunities that you will get or miss in your career. This is why it’s imperative that you make connections with the people around you.
人们与您在事业中将获得或错过的机会有着千丝万缕的联系。 这就是为什么必须与周围的人建立联系的原因。
It’s as simple as this equation:
就像这个方程式一样简单：
Community = Opportunity
社区=机会
The opportunities that I have been able to step into thus far have come out of relationships I have with my peers. And these aren’t just relationships for the sake of opportunity. You will only see benefits from relationships that are genuine and mutually opportunistic.
到目前为止，我能够进入的机会来自与同伴的关系。 这些不仅仅是为了机会的关系。 您将只从真诚和相互机会的关系中受益。
I am confident in the fact that engaging in the developer community will be beneficial for you as you learn and grow in your career. I encourage you to dive into the community, whether that be by having a conversation with a fellow developer, or lurking and learning from the conversations happening around you.
我相信，在您学习和成长的过程中，参与开发人员社区将对您有益。 我鼓励您加入社区，无论是与开发人员进行对话，还是潜入并从您周围的对话中学习。
