My favourite stackexchange questions

My favourite stackexchange questions. Answers are very interesting, impressive and motivating.

Question #1 - What is the good/bad decision you made in your mid 20's about your career

From the answers listed below points were very impressive and interesting
  • Technologies - "You can't know everything, so don't try to, and don't worry about it. In three years' time it will be obsolete anyway. Pick a small number of things and be good at them. Be aware of the rest"
  • Marriage - "Marry when you meet the person you want to marry, that's the only right time. If it's the right person it's more important than your career. If it's not then don't marry them"
  • Health - "Nothing is more important than it"
  • Good decision - "Start saving for retirement"
 
 
Question #2 - What Level of Education Is Most Useful?
Ongoing: "The people who NEVER stop learning"
My advice: don't stop learning.



Question #3 - What happens to older software engineers?
  • If you're competent, flexible, and keep learning, you keep doing the kind of work you want to be doing
