-In IT or any technical Knowledge Worker arena (Software Engineering, Systems Srchitecture, or technical Product/Program/Project Management), learn First Principles of whatever technology you work in and around. If you learn & know the basic concepts, design patterns, architectures etc…then all that is left is to learn the syntactical differences and workflows that make any new upcoming technology or framework unique.
put another way…
-"Learn the fundamentals, then learning new things is easier."
Tabs are better than spaces. There, I said it. Sorry, but it’s just true. 🤓
Spaces aren’t horrible, but if you read the above & lost respect for me – you’re probably a Javascript developer, which makes me pity you more. 🥸
If you’re a small company and don’t have a deep bench to pull from for both IT project work and the daily support-grind, don’t diss your star IT players. Lest ye end up dependent on consultants and MSPs!
Your hardest workers on your ServiceDesk or Helpdesk are doing their best in a daily hailstorm of shifting priorities and demands. Be kind.
