I'm a 61y old developer who rose from system operator to VP IT without a degree and chose to give up the money and 'power' of upper management to return to my first love - development. My latest goals are learning physical computing and living long enough to close my career with 50 years of software development experience.

Timeless DEV post...
The most used technology by developers is not Javascript.
It's not Python or HTML.
It hardly even gets mentioned in interviews or listed as a pre-requisite for jobs.
I'm talking about Git and version control of course.

I find it really uplifting that you came back to programming!
From your experience, what would you say about technologies that get hyped a lot? Are there some that lived up to their hype?
Oh yes:
So many more that were never more than a fad. One of these days I'm going to blog my memoirs of nearly 40y as a technologist - good and bad jobs, decisions, stupid mistakes and funny stories.
Awesome! I'll be looking forward to that blog post :)
