Coding is not like a lot of studies because learning never stops. What we are doing right now might very well be completly obsolete in 10 years. Have a look at even the "simple" things like PHP: When I was learning it in version 2.x it was a straight forward but cubbled mess. Now, with PHP8 its anything like that and it became a "modern programming language". Change is the only guaranteed constant.
