Is this really the case? My limited experience is that the amount of constant learning expected from a coder is an order of magnitude more than in most other fields.
- Loughla 6y agoI work in education - if I were to sit on my hands and use anything more than the most basic foundational research and 'best practice' from when I left my post-doc program 10 years ago, I would be unemployed. I work on professional development and skill building constantly. That's not the exception to the rule, either. You're expected to stay current on trends in your field, and stay ahead of best practices.
