I had to abandon the "keep knowledge in my head" paradigm in 1990 or so and shift to the "problem solver" model. This is the skill set with an indeterminate shelf life. Sure it takes time to become fluent in new systems. That's no different than the first system that I learned. I think if one lacks the willingness to stretch and learn the new, whether one is 25 or one is 70, that is when one becomes unsuitable for this line of work.

> I had to abandon the "keep knowledge in my head" paradigm in 1990 or so and shift to the "problem solver" model. That is what I aspire to. I think I'm doing well in this regard for how far I am into my career, but any advice you have in this regard would be appreciated by me (and others presumably).
