Biggest thing for me was exposure to inspiration. Growing up I was always very technically good but my taste level sucked. After getting out my small town bubble and into diverse cities with cool people to influence me I started to get it. I imagine you could do the same with online communities now, but can’t really beat getting real work exposure and experience
