heh, this seems common with devs who get to around the 10 year mark, they try and distil wisdom from their experience, but all too often it is quite rigid advice...I did it too, I would have plenty of advice for my "younger" self when I hit the 10 year mark. I'm at 40 years coding now, and I'd be hard pressed to make any definitive advice or claims about anything. Maybe my advice now would be don't buy into any strong claims about anything, instead, try and understand what underlying forces are shaping advice / claims
- sims18 6y agoBest response so far imo. There are so many opinions and advice about how to get ahead in this field that it is literally debilitating. Should I work on side projects? Should I grind leetcode? Shoukd I study algs? Should I build mobile apps...the list goes on and on. Seems like the only thig to do is chase down what's most interesting and hope the time spent will benefit the career as well? Would your 40 years agree with that?
