But still, what is your added level in say Go over a 35 year old who does Go for 5 years already? Wouldn't it have been better to just stick to one or two techs

But still, what is your added level in say Go over a 35 year old who does Go for 5 years already?
Wouldn't it have been better to just stick to one or two techs throughout your career?
- lanstin 5y agoBetter in what way? Only in ways that make people old rather than ways that make people young. Here is a repeatable path to security. And say I am only just as good as the newbie in go. Isn’t that fine? I am seeking the pleasures of learning and learning with other smart people, not trying to win a contest. My method to do that is find problems, without a recipe answer, for technology problems that my employers are facing. But the motivating goal is to learn new things and build new things.

Depends on how expensive you are, what the market is like, how well you compensate in other areas (people skills, analytical thought etc) but all in all the market will prefer the 35 year old because our industry is somewhat shitty and ageist. It is what it is. However you will have a very strong network for having worked so many years so you can probably easily overcome this.
