You discover that there is rarely something new under the sun. Even the youngsters who want to show you your flaws to feel superior , they pop up like mushrooms if its the season.
- wyager 10y ago> You discover that there is rarely something new under the sun. The only people I've heard say this are those who are ignorant enough of the actual state of the art to think they've seen everything out there. If the field still has people researching it academically, you haven't seen everything under the sun.
- flukus 10y agoThey qualified the statement with "rarely". And even if new stuff is being researched, it's very rare to be life changing for most developers. Instead we get yet another generic build tool or MVC framework. React actually reminds me of writing php/asp code more than a decade ago.
- forgottenpass 10y agoIt's not about having seen _everything_ out there, it's about having seen _enough_ to operate at the mental level of the categories they exist in. When you're just starting out, learning $foo when all you ever knew was $bar is radical change that upends the world. To the more experienced, learning about the existence of $foo is just another $whatsit with $properties and maybe $novel_feature.
