Advice: don't fall for, "it will be really easy to be left behind.”

That's gatekeeping.

Imagine being 10 years old right now, and having some old dude say, “you need to learn [tech of the day] or you'll be left behind.”

It's just not how technology works. You can join at any time, with any past experience, and start learning something new. There's a place for you.

Anyone who says otherwise is trying to keep you out.

@thaddeus Also, most tech prediction is prognostication.

I went hard into Ruby on Rails fifteen years ago. Now? I never touch it. There are some apps, to be sure, that rely heavily on it, but nothing I care to use.
