I fully support learning for learning’ sake. But you could also view the new features as solutions to problems. If you don’t feel you’re having problems then you’re probably not missing out. There is no inherent value in using the new functionality.
If you do have a specific problem then you could ask the community about that and they will help you determine whether there is new functionality that addresses it. Then go read about it in the manual, try it out, and see if it works for you. I find learning from solving my own problems easier than reading a manual cover to cover.
- pletnes 9y agoI’ve seen devs thinking like that for decades. Since they already know Fortran 77, which is a Turing complete language, they can solve any computing problem. Still, I’d argue that it’s valuable to explore new things, at least at the level where you get an overview of which tool to use for which job.
