Tina HuynhTo be blunt, the answer is no. Sorry to break the news to you.
We've all heard our college professors tell us that learning doesn't end after graduation. And that's especially true for developers. Why? There is always something new around the corner - new methods of doing things, new updates, new developments, new trends, etc. that we need to keep up with. Choosing a career in tech is choosing a lifetime of learning. Life in itself is, after all, constantly teaching us how to be better and encouraging us to grow.
Without growth, we would never advance and there is nothing worst than staying stagnate in one place. Some wonderful articles I found about staying motivated and continuing to learn each and everyday are:
Short story is:
- Regularly review your goals and progress
- Continue to set new goals
- Encourage yourself and find mentors both online and in person
- Surround yourself with positive friends and form study groups if needed
- Remember to use study breaks to avoid burn out
Keep in mind that it's a marathon, not a race. Focus on progress and not perfection.
What was the most recent thing you learned?
Happy coding!
