    It seems the rate of change in our industry is increasing. I am worn out with trying to keep up. :(

    I am stronger than I think I am. I am smarter than I think I am. I am better than I think I am. - anon.

      Never tried to keep up. Early adoption is costly.

        The pattern I see regularly is: There's this amazing new way of doing things call FrogrooAPI and the code is open source. One week later - we need to also download CatrooAPI for FrogrooAPI to work. Six months later - so as long as you have FrogrooAPI, CatrooAPI, MouserooAPI, GerbilrooAPI and DogrooAPI everything should work...

          ... and by the way, the developers on GerbilrooAPI have all joined an anti-technology commune and have changed their license such that all users of GerbilrooAPI are retroactively members as well, and their membership fees are now due. If you're thinking that sounds like the GPL...

            I think I caught up... :O I don't have this feeling anymore... I am right where I want to be and it seems good! :) I find it strange too... :O The one reason perhaps, is that I care not for javascript framework (of which zillion sprout up every single day) And also, even though I haven't done Xamarin Phone app in like 5 years, I think I am still good (the XAML love and API stability is strong :D ) (And WinForm and WPF do not change anymore! ^_^ ) The one thing I just gave up on is 3D/game programming.. never even touched Unity! :O

              This is why good developers and development shops intercept the CxO postal mail looking for malware such as CIO Magazine.
