Absolutely true, and it's also fair to say that I have to work harder now to remember things that I could recall effortlessly twenty years ago. Fortunately the development of the Internet into a global knowledge store perfectly coincided with my getting older :). I know most developers couldn't work without the Internet these days, and that's doubly true for me!
- danieltillett 11y agoYep the internet makes it possible to learn on your own - I am a totally self-taught developer. I tried to teach myself back in the 80s as a teenager and it was near impossible. I still remember trying to write assembler back then by memory poking to speed up the inner loops of my BASIC programs. The crazy thing is occasionally I would get it to work despite having (almost) no idea what I was doing.
