⏱️ In IT, Time Runs Faster Than in Life

Today, I witnessed a lively discussion among seasoned developers - not newcomers, but people who have lived through multiple generations of technology. The conversation revolved around one thing: it’s becoming impossible to keep up with the pace of change... Oh… ☕☕☕

JavaScript took the most heat - before you’ve even mastered one framework, a new one is released, and the previous is already declared obsolete.

PHP also came up: just five years ago, projects built on it were the pride of their teams and seemed like a solid foundation. Today, those same projects are worth almost nothing on the market - not because the code is bad, but because in that time the industry has shifted toward Python, TypeScript, Dart, Go… and modern full-stack solutions.

That’s the nature of this profession: even perfect code ages faster than fine wine. Technology doesn’t wait, and in IT, the shelf life of knowledge is measured not in decades, but in years - sometimes just months.

🎩 If you want to stay in the game, you have to run - even if you don’t like running.

And through all of this, it’s worth remembering: no matter how much is said about the growing role of artificial intelligence in development, it will never replace true engineers. Algorithms can write code, but engineering thought is not a set of instructions - it’s born from human experience, intuition, and the ability to see a solution where a machine sees only a problem.🤓
