Having worked in web development for 19 years has its advantages, but there are plenty of disadvantages too. Gray hairs and wrinkles are a topic for another post. I’m talking about all that useless knowledge (table layout, anyone?) you still carry around and how you can get stuck in your ways. Of course, by “you” I mean me.
The last few years I’ve gotten a little lazy. With lots going on in my personal life, I've relied on the tools I already had to get me through projects at work. Besides, at 55 years old, who wants to always be studying up on the latest cool new fad in web development?
Turns out, I do.
It’s shocking just how quickly I got behind. Within a year or two, young developers on my team are doing things and using tools I’m too nervous to try. It makes me feel a little dated and old, and that is one thing I will not put up with.
I may be old, yes, but I still adore building web sites and have no intention of retiring to a rocking chair. It’s time, I realize, for a plan. So I came up with one, and I’m sharing it with you in case you find it useful or can add some good ideas.
Eat your fruits and veggies. Seriously, now is the time to take care of yourself. You need the energy to keep up with the youngsters. A little exercise probably wouldn’t hurt, either [insert groan].
Don’t rest on laurels. It sounds harsh, but no one cares (too much) what you built back in the day. All the world cares about is what you are building now and what you’re going to create tomorrow.
Change your habits. It’s so easy to do things the same old way. It's quick, it's painless, and it's familiar enough you could do it in your sleep. But maybe that's the problem. If you're sleepwalking through your work, maybe it's time to incorporate some new technologies that could inspire and reinvigorate you. Shake things up by trying something new--change your development workflow, experiment with a new platform, or play around with a new language.
Listen to and learn from the kids. Yeah, they don’t have the range or depth of our knowledge. But they do know what’s trendy, cool and cutting edge. You may be (almost) old enough to be their grandparent, but you can still learn from them. Ask a kid you admire to teach you something. Anything.
Do something that scares you. If design terrifies you, join lynda.com and challenge yourself to create a set of graphically rich mockups. If command line gives you dry mouth, find a tutorial and open up Terminal. If you’re nervous about Sass, start using it. Today.
Crack those books...and the online tutorials, courses, blogs, articles, feeds and newsletters. Anywhere the latest techniques and tools are explained, be there. Every single day.
Rethink your niche. Step back and take a high-level view of the industry. It's changed a lot since you started playing in this game (maybe as a jack-of-all-trades webmaster?). The explosion of new platforms and technologies means exciting new areas of specialization have opened up. Find the two or three that interest you most, and focus your time and energy on those.
Recommit to your career. Just because we’re older doesn’t mean we can’t code anymore or that we’re only fit for management. Unless we’ve stopped trying. Have you stopped trying?
Don’t. Ever. Stop. Trying. Because age is fricking irrelevant.

Czym stanowi blog, gdy go zaplanowac i zyc?
Czy slyszales te wiadomosc, ze inny 17-letni bloger zarobil 20 milionow rubli w porzadku jednego roku? Przez chwile zwykly mezczyzna ze niewielka pensja musi isc 55 lat (czy pelne zycie), aby uzyskac taka sama kwote.
Co wtedy stanowi blog, czemu jest pozyteczny takze kiedy go zrealizowac? Oraz ewentualnie mozna na tym uzyskac kilka "lamow" miesiecznie? I moze wszyscy nas oklamuja?
W niniejszym tekscie przeanalizujemy wszystkie drogi w codziennych slowach. Ze z czasem staniesz sie odnoszacym sukcesy 17-letnim blogerem milionerem, kto wie = )
Co obecne jest blog w ciemnych slowach, dlaczego i kto go marzy
Klasyczne blogi tekstowe-grafomania w najjasniejszej postaci
Mikro-blogi-dla tych, ktorzy nie lubia pisac, ale lubia pieniadze
Videoblog - wtedy sa wielkie pieniadze
Blogi, ktore tak rzeczywiscie nie sa blogami
Najfajniejszy wyjscie na zalozenie bloga i zgarnianie pieniedzy (Hardcore!)
Na rozgrzewke przeanalizujmy w skrocie-czym jest blog "w zespole" i dlaczego jest przydatny.
Co toz jest blog w jasnych slowach, dlaczego a kto go wymaga
Slowo "blog" pochodzi z angielskiego "Web log". Doslownie tlumaczy sie to jak "dziennik/dziennik zamieszczony w Internecie". Swiadczy to, ze w staroslowianskim nazywaloby sie to" dziennikiem "lub"interwentem". A tak uzyjmy terminu "blog".
Istota jest typowa. Myslisz sobie konto na poszczegolnej z budow do malowania e-dziennika i wdrazasz tam codziennie cos umieszczac. W relacje z sciany potrafia to byc krotkie wpisy tekstowe, dlugie artykuly, Filmy, zdjecia czy cale naraz.
Blogerzy nie sa z prawego zycia. Jesli ktos zadeklarowal sie zalozyc bloga, jest co chwila dwa cele. Pierwszym z nich istnieje uzyskanie popularnosci. Drugim jest zarabianie na prostej pozycji.
Kazda witryna do powstawania blogow ma wlasny domowy mechanizm gromadzenia subskrybentow lub" obserwujacych " (obserwujacych/czytelnikow). Im popularniejsze sa Twoje posty-tym wiecej kobiet kladzie sie wokol ciebie, aby czytac cie w kolko.
