I was just illustrating a point. She’s not an enthusiast at all. Software is strictly her job and she’s doesn’t care about it outside of work.
It baffles me because my initial reaction to someone like that is to think they’re not good. But she’s really good. She’s able to pick things up on the job fast and is extremely focused on her work. I OTOH always need to use my personal time to learn things and have trouble focusing, despite being a tech enthusiast.
- watwut 8y agoI did not said she is enthusiast. I think that many of those "enthusiast" activities are not making you better at the job if you think about it. Focused learning with goal is very often more effective then just playing with something and rest+downtime+change of activity really help with learning and effectivity on the job. But, I think that since she is "extermly focused on job" she probably likes (or at least does not hate) the job itself - not pop version of what programer should like or random messing with gadgets, but the job itself. Many people are like that - they are able to like many different things, so they like what they are doing now.
