Discussion on: Is it common for developer to loose passion to learn new things ?

Happens to the best of us!

For me the most difficult time to carry on learning is when I am already knee-deep in a topic and I realize there is still so much to learn and other people know a lot more than I do. It's overwhelming. You feel like you don't have what it takes..

When this happens I try to remind myself that knowledge goes wide, and knowledge goes deep.

Maybe if you don't feel like learning a completely new thing right now, try to pick something you know, open the documentation page and read every single, damn, freaking line. I can assure you you'll find out at least one feature no one else knows, and you'll get excited about It!

Then if you're into it, write a post about what you just learned!

Rinse and repeat, trust the process πŸ™‚

Good luck!
