As a young ambitious man I always knew programming was going to be my passion, but life had different plans and I have ended up in less technical IT related roles. I used to think that this ever-revolving door of advancement in tech would create an interesting career but now that I realize that programming is not my career path, I now feel that in my mid 30s with a family it could become extremely cumbersome to those in the field.
I'm interested in opinions of how experienced and mid to high-level devs still feel after 15+ years of experience about the constant evolutions of technologies and their associated "metas" such as TDD, project mgmt systems such as agile, etc jive with that mentality. Does the chase/"circle around" ever get old? I try to keep up with it all through HN, but wasn't the basis of a lot of languages such as python and php to reduce that and get things to MVP? Maybe I'm just way off course.
