The term that you would want to use in place of "learning treadmill" is "continuing education".
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Continuing_medical_education https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Continuing_medical_education informs me that many states in the US require some form of CME in order for a doctor to remain licensed. It's easy to imagine why this might be the case; as the state of medical science changes, so to would a doctor's recommendation.
edit: I can imagine that lawyers probably need to stay abreast of recent decisions as well, since precedent makes for a compelling argument.
- clock_tower 10y agoI think that the difference is that continuing education builds on established precedent, while the CS learning treadmill is often about throwing out existing ideas in favor of some new paradigm -- or some new Javascript framework that's gratuitously incompatible with the previous version of the same framework.
