On the topic of professional growth, I was asked this week in a

Maybe this is arrogant or whatever, but my view is that I'm
kinda maxed out as a programmer. Sure, there's a handful of
specific things (like framework method names) I don't know and
some concepts I don't know the names of, but as for like
revolutionary new lessons, I don't think I've actually learned
anything like that directly related to programming for a pretty
long time.
Then I was asked what about team dynamics and stuff... but even
there, I've been doing this a pretty long time now. You know
what I spend most my time talking about with my programming
co-worker? Recipe swapping and church stuff. And I don't mean D
Cookbook recipes, i mean stuff like baking bread and pies.
We're both pretty good at our day jobs and tend to be on the
same page on work related stuff more often than not anyway.
How's your mathematics and numerical analysis? There are always
new horizons.
