ALT Rafiki hoists a 7-day weather forecast to the heavens from Pride Rock. The forecast calls for cool temperatures and rain. The people of Washington state celebrate by cawing, screeching, and trumpeting from their trunks. Their natural habitat is soon to be restored.

It's June 2019. On the day of my graduation, nervously contemplating life beyond, I asked this question to my bootcamp operations manager.
He'd seen hundreds of devs go through the program.
I never forgot what he said:

Finding Nemo grossed $940.4 million.
You think it’s a movie for kids.
Watch it again, and you’ll see..
It’s actually a masterclass to upgrade your self-limiting belief systems as an adult.
Read this, and you’ll never think of Nemo the same way...
