Great article and advice!!
> Eventually the honeymoon will end and you'll learn that programming is frustrating and messy regardless of which Right Way people use, and that you can also make great software without doing it the Right Way. Over time you'll learn fifty other Right Ways and learn to mix and match them to the problem at hand.
My impression though from last few years is that nowadays many developers get stuck being Right Way Guys and are unable to broaden their knowledge and views. This is sad and I do not know the cause of that if it is true. My speculation is that it has something to do with too short attention spans nowadays to efficiently expand knowledge in combination with being to comfortable in their current positions. Or maybe something with too much incentives to only learn specific frameworks and not basic knowledge of how things work “under the hood”.
- marcosdumay 3y agoMy guess is that professional developers are too concerned into getting into their new job next year. So they both don't have time to learn the lessons from this one (because they'll be out by the time those lessons hit) and they can't afford to not focus on the new great thing. That really impedes growth.
