Abhinav Pandey on July 17, 2022

Being a successful developer requires continuous learning and skill improvement. But there are simply too many things to learn and too little time....

Good article on continuous learning. Especially the bit about niching and THEN generalizing reminded me of T-Shaped skillsets. I figured keeping this approach in mind while working on myself is a good guiding star:

Thanks, nice article!
Another way to find the next tool to learn, is to pay attention to the job specs you find online (and those that the recruiters send in your emailbox), those contain lots of hints on what the market is looking for.

Good article! I'm actually trying to find a good method to learn more, because I study for a while and then I lose a little amount of motivation, then, I get more motivation out of the blue and then I come back to study but I get a little rusty in that part where I get frustated or give myself a "break" after a project. That's kind of my experience but I hope I get to a very higher level this time!

Thanks for sharing this ;)
