Michael HendersonBlockedUnblockFollowFollowingMay 12Truth is, I have stopped learning a technology dead in my tracks just to jump to the next latest and greatest thing. I stopped working on Angular to learn React. I stopped learning ASP.NET 5 to learn ASP.NET Core. These are all examples of me ruining what I have learned in the past just to jump on the “latest and greatest technology stack” just because I though companies would be using that stack. I also thought I needed to learn it to be successful. Truth is, that shit was just hype…

Today, things are innovating faster than we can learn them. So, if you are wanting to learn how to program, don’t keep jumping to the next release of a technology or one that you think is “in demand” just to start learning it because you think it is the latest and greatest.
