Maybe I'm just a grumpy old developer, but the idea of learning yet another framework's opinion of exactly what the difference between a Model and Controller class should be, trying to fathom whateverissexy.js and working with yet another "awesome" HTML 5 framework where centering something on a page is still a mystery doesn't fill me with excitement at all.
Instead , I would prefer to learn something about "hard" computer science or something from a related non-CS discipline such as Math, Statistics , Psychology and find some way to apply that knowledge.
- louischatriot 14y agoI don't think that contradicts the OP's position. Indeed learning a new framework's opinion is not exciting, but learning some "hard" CS is fun. For example I was a Ruby on Rails/GRails guy and I took up nodejs 8 months ago. That's a big - and fun - change.
- readme 14y agoAgreed. That's the difference between lateral and vertical movement. You can go from one framework to the next your whole life, or you can learn the hard stuff. Companies will hire a guy to do the hard stuff, then hire a couple grunts to write the apps. Currently, I fall into the grunt category.
