Ep 33, On Fads, Career Burnout, and Standing the Test of Time

Update: 2017-09-18

Description

Programming, and web dev especially, can be prone to fads. In some respects, they drive innovation, but from another point of view, I think the constant reinvention stifles our ability to build solutions that can stand the test of time. In this episode, I dig into the dangers of fads and how I ended up burned out from web dev.
