Are you sure you are in the right business if you don't like relearning?
- vetinari 16y agoYes, throw away everything you know every now and then, instead of building knowledge on top of knowledge. That will get you far, right?
- mey 16y agoWho says you have to throw away everything you know? I don't magically stop knowing C++ when running around in Ruby or SQL.
- jpr 16y agoLearning new stuff is cool. Relearning same old stuff in different clothing because someone decided to do something differently is not cool.
- contextfree 16y agoPS is substantially different enough that I don't mind, though.
- code_duck 16y agoI like relearning. I don't have much use for re-learning... I'd rather learn to do something new. The "to accomplish the same things, only on Windows instead" is the crucial qualifier. I'd rather spend my time, I don't know - learning to configure nginx or doing Haskell tutorials than learn someone's proprietary shell, given that shells aren't particularly exciting and I already know enough about the shells that every other platform offers to be satisifed.
