It's been a big problem when I've been recruiting for developers. 10 years experience or 10 of the same year, normally it's the latter.
Personally if I feel I'm no longer learning then I raise it with my manager. If after a few months nothing has changed then I start interviewing.
- alkonaut 11y agoI thought it was nearly impossible to do software development and not learn continuously? Can't imagine what a dev workday looks like when you aren't learning. You rarely ever do the same thing twice, and even if you do you learn from past mistakes and become more efficient.
- matwood 11y agoSo a dev is hired out of school to build CRUD forms in (VB6|GWT|Something similar). Most likely they master the technology in a few months and now just take new/change requirements and never deal with much beyond the original tech. In a big company where changes can take forever, the dev spends a lot of time waiting on new requirements, going to meetings and acceptance. Before you know it, a lot of time has passed and the dev is still just building CRUD forms in whatever technology that happened to be put on when they were hired.
