Fraud syndrome, better known as impostor syndrome, is a common phenomena where someone feels like a fraud because they think everyone is better than themselves.
Working with JavaScript tends to generate this effect on developers, because there is always a new library to learn, and a new framework to master.
Despite their experience, every developer that interacted with JavaScript, has found themselves with a confused face while trying to understand the new technology everybody is talking about, just to have it replaced by another one in the incoming months.
In this talk, Jose Aguinaga, author of "How it feels to learn Javascript in 2016" and experienced developer (he swears), will talk about JavaScript fatigue and better approaches to avoid the Fear Of Missing Out other than trying to learn everything that comes from HackerNews.
From his job in San Francisco, to teaching coding in Bali, Jose will share his personal experiences of working for multiple startups in various cities across the world, and share his views on how to learn the most popular (and unpopular) language in the world.

We need more talk like that! Great job!
awesome talk!
a great talk with many topics to think about!
Brilliant talk
Real good keynote, useful for all JavaScript developers
Great talk with some serious food for thought. Talking about the emotional side of our job is something that I'd love to see more often in the community.
great talk!
Great talk: smart, funny and really interesting
I felt it wasn't an incredible keynote but was very enjoyable regardless. I heard someone saying it was a bit too long and I second the feedback, I would suggest to pick up the pace a bit (to include more) or finish earlier. But anyhow good talk!
Inspiring opening talk :)
Nice keynote... Loved Addy Osmani's quote (and others good points as well)
Extremely well-delivered talk! You should probably move your career to acting, you'll probably make more money than with software... and yes you'll get rid of all this annoying JS fatigue (fatigue)!
It was a really nice talk, I liked it
Great talk!
Very interesting and fun talk
The PERFECT keynote, thanks Jose.
Great introduction!
Great
Very good introduction! Thanks :)
Very interesting talk!
Great job!
Very inspirational.
It really reminded me of the struggles I had faced in the past. And how much I felt like loser when I joined a team which used unfamilar technologies. Glad to be reinforced that I am not the only one and others share the pain :)
inspiring :)
Awesome!
I had a lot of fun! Brilliant!
Very good talk!
Aweson talk! Perfect for starting.
Great, inspiring talk.
Very good talk, it did start bit too much as a self promotion but after the intro it was great.
I dont think the issue of knowing/using all the shiniest toys is only a problem in Javascript community, I see it in others as well (not as intense as in JS though)
Amazing talk, amazing experience.
great talk!
Really nice talk to open the conference. I've found interesting things to think on.
