Seeing a glass half full or half empty
Times are now such that pessimism outweighs optimism as far as one’s outlook is concerned that this really reflects on his/her attitude towards his current sphere of work. One tends to shy away from taking daunting and challenging tasks in the event there be some catastrophic failures.
I work in the IT field and I find that in the age of the pandemic and also organisations thinking towards digitising it’s business and the changes being advanced at a fast and furious pace with constant up spilling and relearning being the norm, this is the best time and space that an IT professional can dream of.
So this then begets the question: How does one keep pace and get on top of the continuous voluminous amount of learning being required of us? The answer lies in following certain time age principles
- YAGNI - Be aware of it especially the what, the context in which it can be applied, the pitfalls that might arise but delay getting deep into it till it is required.
- KISS - Keep things simple.
- AGILITY- Be flexible and whenever possible keep reading others’ blogs as to what they have to say. Remember what we know today is put into oblivion tomorrow.
