Think about teaching, perhaps. Certainly for me, if I know something well enough to teach it, I've gotten bored with what I can do with it. However, if I actually then _teach_ someone, there's a constant barrage of questions, from a completely new perspective. Plus, there's always the feel-good initiative, and the money in teaching or grinds isn't bad either. Just my €0.02. :)
- tjarratt 16y agoGreat advice. I've long suspected that great programmers like Knuth and Wozniak moved into a teaching role to help themselves continue to learn, and question the world around them, as well as to give back to the community and help new generations of programmers. Not to imply that only "great" programmers should teach - if you know something, anything, about programming, it's helpful to start blogging or writing about it. At some point your content will be indexed by search engines and you might help someone who has been hitting their head against a brick wall (we've all been there).
