So about those 2 post a month…might have to change it to a post every 2 months at this point.
Been meaning to write something short but past couple of months have been busy and it’s really hard to just sit down and type after a day of slinging code. I’m trying to be better about spending less time in front of a screen and spend more time with my wife, new hobbies or just self improvement. Unfortunately, self improvement for a developer kinda requires you spend some extra time in front of screen trying some new technology or learning best practices from others.
I recently read this interesting article about our professional decline starting sooner than we think and it has me thinking when that might be for me? I’ve only been a developer, professionally, for about 3 years so I think I still have some time in front of me before I can no longer absorb as fast as my former self. Yet there are times when I come across developers who are just producing at such a high level for such a long time and it gives me this imposter syndrome. If I really want to become a respected developer do I really need to know all these frameworks and languages like the back of my hand? Is it really worth investing that kind of time or should I focus my energy on what I know best and hone my craft there?
Thankfully this field is fresh to me so I’m down to keep picking up frameworks or just trying new things because that’s the beauty of software development. If you can think it, you can probably build it. But like anything else in this world, you just have to put the time and effort to achieve your goals.
Here’s a photo of basic Huevos Rancheros I made not too long ago
