It seems that there are countless patents approved by person do not understand a single world of it...
It is sad that there are people who abuse it, but we can't set it right without fixing the patent system...
Skipper: We'll fix it.
Alex: Fix it? How you gonna fix this?
Skipper: Grit, spit and a whole lotta duct tape.

Do you work in software? Do you have more than a decade of experience? You do? I’m sorry to hear that. "It is the height of madness to learn what you will later have to unlearn."

That means there’s a strong possibility that much of what you know is already obsolete.
Much of what I have learned in the technical realm is certainly obsolete. I haven't coded in 6502, Z80, 8086, Cobol, Fortran, Pascal, C, or C++ in ages.
But much of what I've learned about writing documentation, debugging, creating flexible architectures, smacking junior devs around, wishing I could smack managers, realizing I love working remotely, making accurate time estimates, designing good UI's, and getting skilled at teaching others, those are things that never become obsolete. Some sadly never.

Priority management, clean code, design best practices, problems solved (aka a base of problems for which one can find similarities)... that is experience and it is worth decades of formal education.
Als it depends on the field, many programmers today simply patch things together by using big clunky frameworks and have no real problem to solve: when was the last time you developed an algorithm, instead of pulling a library with an algorithm and integrating it into some kind of monster?

Something to be said about jumping onto any new bandwagon that comes across - like React mentioned in the article, or LightSwitch, or XAML or ...
Some things though never change - the guy down the hall writing bash scripts have been doing it for 20 years. The Oracle or SQL server DBA job didn't change much in the last 20 years either. The C/C++ I walked away from 15 years ago, I had to get back to with Mobile Games.
So “Stay hungry, stay foolish.” - there is just not enough time in the day, need to use some discretion and prospective.

To Jon Evans - You are utterly wrong...
Everything! I have learned is important (even I didn't used it for years, like 6502 Assembly or COBOL) as it is the solid base of everything new I will learn tomorrow...
This is the base that enables to me to write PHP for production on the very same day I saw it ever first!
Let see how would you write articles your brain wiped clean (on a second thought it probably will not change nothing - you write BS even with your brain intact)...

I thought my eyesight was beginning to go. It turns out, I’m suffering from design. So maybe you can't read it, but it's responsive!

What did he expect? The web is fully commercialized, hence design is more important than content.

Former Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer told CNBC on Friday that he tried to buy Facebook when it was "itsy-bitsy" for $24 billion. Too bad. They could have mismanaged it to an early grave

I whish they had succeed... that way we would have less problems with facebook nowadays, as it would probably go through the toilette

There goes the entertainment industry too.

Unicode said that if the emoji was approved, it would include a range of skin tones, a feature introduced last year after much campaigning. As much problems as Unicode may have solved, I'm going back to limiting textboxes to pure ASCII.

I always found the number of cat emoji unsatisfying. The cat is usually yellow, but I'm missing black, whites, grey's, calico... Not to mention the race of that cat. I'm guessing it's a European short hair, but what about persian, siamese, long haired, etc. etc.
I say stop this oppressing cat emoji regime! #animalrights #catsarepeopletoo

Well that'll help keep them away from the pesky business of actually adding support for additional languages in unicode[^].
As a side note, I'll add that you know something's really turned into a dumpster fire when it's so bad that Buzzfeed is producing long form journalism instead of click bait full of nothing but dank memes.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?
