Being a web technology guru Jul17 '07
On being a web technology guru:
You have to be cutting-edge, ruthless, willing to change or give up a common habit on a moment's inclination, with hardly any idea of what you're getting yourself into.
You're always on the search for that "ah ha!" moment. What can this do for you, and how can it make your life easier?
Always swim on the surface, but stick your head in pretty far. Never get too involved or fall in love with anything, but allow yourself to be changed by it. It is all temporary, but leaves a permanent legacy. Immerse yourself just enough to achieve the heightened sense of enlightenment and euphoria that comes with discovering something new.
Don't be a victim of "feature creep," ie: falling in love with a product or service that only gets "changed" and eventually discontinued or unsupported. Every new advancement may not be necessary, but it behooves you to examine every possible angle of the idea.
You don't work to do this. You do this so you don't have to work.
You don't change. You stay motivated or you get lazy, but you don't change.
