Self-development of a programmer and the question “Why?”

From some age the question arose: “Why?”.



Earlier you met the mention, for example, of popular technology. And you immediately began to study it. If you were asked: “Why?”, You would say: “Well, why? Are you a fool? New to me technology. Popular. Well come in handy for sure. I’ll study, I’ll test, well! ” And now…



They suggest you study, and you think: “Some kind of technology. Another one. Her learning difficulty is high. Well it is necessary to study it, to understand, to try. I will not be the first one there, so many already know her much better than me, competition. And what's next? Either use, or forget, but there is still work. Well, why? .. "
