I'm a developer with (way too) many years of experience, originally from the UK but now in NYC having co-founded a real-estate startup and an AI driven content engine platform.
Absolutely right Luke. When I talk about a desire to learn, I really mean making a lifelong (or at least career-long) commitment to learning.
Whenever anyone first learns to code, it feels overwhelming and you're constantly facing a bottomless pit of new tools, technologies and frameworks. The irony is this never changes but it stops being overwhelming because the learner gains the confidence to take on what they need.
The learning becomes smarter too, figuring out the correct paths to take, the details they don't need to commit to memory and knowing when certain courses of action feel right or wrong.

Exactly! It's so awesome to watch when the learning becomes smarter. It's weird but you can just see it.
