When someone asks me what the best thing about being a developer is, my answer is always the same:
It's an endless game of learning.

Thanks for the article.
A couple of strategies I use for deciding what to learn are market trends, and what I like.
As I get closer to "retirement" age, I will not top working, but want to do more things that I enjoy. That is why I am diving into Apple development, learning X-Code, Swift, SwiftUI, etc. I believe Apple will be around for a while, and I can leverage this and learn something fun at the same time.
To understand the market, look at sites that try to give an idea of where software development is moving. For example: Stack Overflow 2021 Developer Survey
I think though the main idea is to learn things that you are passionate about, that motivate you to learn, and that you can use in ways that inspire you!
Great point Paul.
I agree with the point you make about doing what you love.
Life is only so short, no time to do stuff that we don't like.
It's also not about picking the "most popular" thing if you don't enjoy that.
There will always be a need for the things you love, especially if you are super passionate about those.
Interesting reflexion. I have a 2 hours slot every week for learning about new things. From my experience as you also mention, this tiny slot works better than trying to put a tons of hours every day!
Some weeks I need to add extra time, but other I just watch a video or listen a podcast that is enough to get something new
That's a great approach Juan.
And by taking this short time frame we drastically improve over time. (Compound learning)
I didn't know the term. Good to know!
Love the article!
Though I cannot speak from a perspective of a Dev. As a student, I love learning new things, not only in the field of Computer Science but anything in general, especially things that fascinates me, such as psychology, Business, etc.
Though I definitely agree, that one must be up to date with Technology, don't restrict yourself to it, there's a ocean of information out there, it wouldn't hurt exposing yourself to it (even if it's the basics).
Also definitely agreeing with the take it in small steps, most of the time I personally stop learning something is because I try to take too much in a small time, small parts a day goes a long way.
100% There is something about breaking it down in small steps that makes it maintainable and not overwhelming.
And in the end you actually grow more. 💖
Great post 👌 we all have the impostor syndrome 😅 and it's awefull💔
It is!
Acknowledging it is a big step to overcome/work with it.
No. No we don't.
I meant all of us had or will have it sometime in our life as a programmer 😅
Again, no, we don't.
The best feeling as a developer is when you learn something new and realise how badly you coded before. :)
Growth is always a great feeling 🙌
