If you don't expect to be learning new stuff every day throughout your entire career, you are in the wrong line of business.
- amelius 4y agoBut it's not new stuff, mostly. It's just the same old stuff in a new package.
- criddell 4y agoAren't you contradicting yourself?
- amelius 4y agoWhy? It takes time to master new ecosystems, even if what they offer is a complete duplicate of what already existed.
- crustycoder 4y agoYes, indeed that's true. But they get upset if you tell them that their genius new idea is just an old idea they didn't know about ;-)
- cassianoleal 4y agoThat's precisely why it's not really that big a deal to learn the new stuff. If you know the fundamentals, learning the new tech is fine. It can be a little daunting at first but once you familiarise yourself with the new jargon and what value the practical differences bring you can apply your knowlege very productively.
- amelius 4y agoNo. Learning a new ecosystem is far more work and takes far more time than (so to speak) learning a few keywords of a new language.
