Who would you rather hire/work-with? * the developer (of any age) who keeps up with technology in their spare time * the developer (of any age) who refuses to keep up with new technology or who demands that the business provide the time for learning new things I know what my answer is.

I'm talking about the difference between someone who takes responsibility for their own career path vs. someone who expects the company to do it for them.
