> IT and learning go hand in hand.
I couldn't agree more. But learning twice as many new frameworks twice as fast is, in my opinion, unlikely to give you a net gain in productivity. Unless your job is to use twice as many frameworks as the other guy, in which case congratulations on your employment at Google. /s
Every professional should be learning new things as they go along. But you're not going to learn everything, and being good at This Thing Here also takes a lot of concentration, so I suggest that picking your skill-acquisition battles and diving deeper into some of the new things will make you more productive than having a larger set of latest-greatest notches on your belt.
- jacquesm 5y agoAh I see, ok, but that's not what I meant. I meant: if you are going to spend 300 hours of learning time versus 200 to learn the same content then you can spend the other 100 hours on something that is billable. People tend to not want to pay for time spent learning so that's an investment on the part of the learner, and a smaller investment with a higher pay-off translates into a better ROI.
