How to Succeed as a Poor Programmer
The "Avoid Learning Anything New" advice is insane. (Well, practically all of it is, but that one really stands out).I think the exact opposite advice is far better: never assume the way you know how to do something is best, and always be on the lookout for what others are doing that might be better.Here's the thing about learning: the more you learn, the easier learning the next thing becomes. You form links, insights on relationships, new concepts that apply to old things, etc. If this guy thinks learning is such a burden, it's probably because he refuses to learn anything in the first place.If he thinks he's a poor programmer, it probably has less to do with innate ability and 100% to do with the attitudes he gives as "advice" in this blog.
