Join the Amish. If you work with technology constant change comes with the territory. You future-proof yourself by adapting.
I’ve worked in the software business for 40 years and I’m happy I’m not stuck with what I learned decades ago.
- gennarro 4y agoSeconded. I embrace change while appreciating that fundamentals compound over time and most things aren’t that different from one another. For example you mentioned Atom - your transition to Sublime, VS Code etc will be much easier because of your learnings in your previous editor. That’s something that you wouldn’t have had if you didn’t put online the time or you were x years younger.
- justsomehnguy 4y agoThis is a most weird.. but a completely on point solution for someone who seeks for a way to have a bread on the table. I've seen enough people in my life whose education and experience doesn't compute with what they are doing in their life. Thing is - they are a way happier, compared to what they did in the previous life. Sure, you can't just abandond everything and be happy, but this is the wzy how someone finds their happines. Don't forget, most of sysadmins dreams of [electric] sheep farm.
