For coding, I wish I had known that I will need to basically relearn the entire thing every 2-4 years due to frameworks and language design changes.
Tell me you're a front end programmer, without telling me you're a front end programmer.
I had to do FE for a freelance work, I learned Angular built the thing and delivered, a few year later I wanted to do some other stuff went to check Angular documentation and it had changed completely, plus no one else was using it because everyone had migrated to React.
Yea, its a big reason why I try to avoid FE like the plauge! As soon as you learn what everyone is using, everyone is using something else, or its going through a major rework that changes everything.
This is why I only use languages and libraries that are "finished." C, Pascal, Euphoria to name a few.
Absolutely isn't true though, unless you only learned JavaScript for some reason and god help you if that is what you call programming
Yep. Redesign the entire library every few weeks because you discovered a better architecture.
