ok.this is often overlooked.

i'll be the first to admit- i always fell for that certifier.I still do.
i've been programming for Y years!!! do you know me.
That's cool.
Then the portfolio thing- wow!!! you're cool.
but with the habit so entrenched - you may b doing somthings
so wrong for so long and so blind to it.
- this is the problem with too much confidence in the past.
one could get addictd to old ways and not want to change until
its glaring that he's gotten athritic in his past and cant run
with the newest hottest ideas no more.
Even einstein got it and wouldnt accept new theories in his field
. human nature maybe. but overconfidence in the past could be
a signal the user is um living in his blindspot until his titanic
sinks he may be too far gone in overconfidence land.
what's worse- his reputation sways others to him.
microsoft almost became history - it took living in the blind spot
,too much success , for them to overlook Dell,the young,see there again , YOUNG - [the young are literally too ignorant to know what
the current acceptable blind spot is so they just create the
new trend. its not about age,but what you do not have- the young
don't yet KNOW ANYTHING,INCLUDING THE GARBAGE the MATURE FOLKS HAVE
that is giving them glaucoma . ]
well,it took the young,it always almost takes the young to
see what the old and mature dont see.
- the problem here is not with those who could tell where you
doing things wrong for so long ,like those who allowed flies step
on their food for so long before it was discoverd that those buzzers
were vectors (hehe - a programming term !! ).
- it for those who dont know and can be foold - thats the pity.
it boils down to what one martial arts don said.
when i'm done and dead ,bury me in a white belt!!
X years of training- always reassessing.always relearning - willing
to learn,relearn take anoda view. yeah this is more important.


actually relearning and reassessing is more important than past achievement.
and this is where its so hard to judge objectively.
like, what new information intake has one acquird in his field.
is your passion still high? cooling off?
are you becoming too old to do that? to do almost everything?
have you "passed that level"?
are you an old dog that cn't be taught new tricks?
in the world today- back to school is so hip.its back to school for life.
ever learning.
and its possible cuz they've been companies that have been in existence
for i'd say 2 centuries!!! - they succeeded and still succeed and their still
relevant.

Dude! I see's you be smoking some damn strong sh!t!
. . .Bros, keep away from windows, next thing, you will think you can fly too. . . Then GBOA!!
