In this podcast Shane Hastie, Lead Editor for Culture & Methods, talks to Don Denoncourt about remaining an engineer as one ages.
Why listen to this podcast:
• Looking back over history and programming language changes since the early 1980’s
• The importance of lifelong learning and putting your personal time into remaining relevant and up to date with new development platforms
• New graduates get to work on new things because they have just learned about them and they are prepared to take the lower paid roles than “experienced” people
• If ongoing learning is not fun, then maybe you are in the wrong profession
• The unconscious bias against older workers in a few teams and how they miss out on great insights
• Some advice for oldies and youngies working together
