It was supposed to be a quick googling around to verify a certain line of code, but it did not stop there. 30 minutes later, I am still clicking and downloading; a programming framework I love using had just been upgraded and there were major differences from the older iterations. I took a deep breath, time to unlearn and relearn again.
The world moves fast, your expert knowledge can be rendered obsolete in 6 months.
The challenge is would you be willing to press the “shift+delete” key to effectively clear away all the old work? Or would you start hunting for compromises, looking for a middle ground between moving to the new and camping with the old?
The world moves fast, the illiterate of these modern times will be the people who refuse to unlearn the old and learn the new.
