- bmitc 5y agoThere is plenty I don't know. It's not me reveling in my ignorance. My point is that programming is an incredibly diverse field and yet people, even people who supposedly should know better, are obsessed with making global laws of programming. I know relative comparisons of speeds that have been useful in my day jobs, but I'd wager that needing to know the details of these numbers, how they've evolved, etc. is a relatively niche area. Regarding learning, I try to constantly learn. This is driven by two things: (1) need, such as one finds in their day job or to complete some side project; (2) interest. If something hits either need or interest or hopefully both, I learn it.
