external limit: Make some kids, your time will be limited so no more wondering around with the latest trendiest tech :D.

self limit: As a "generalist" I suffer from this deficiency as well, but lately I had to simply stop and focus on a few core skills and make peace with the fact that the internet is evolving faster than one man can learn.

So true. Try debugging anything, or learning a new concept with “Dad, what’re you doing? Dad, what’re you doing? Dad, what’re you doing?” on repeat next to you.

I’m only partially serious, to be honest. I like it when my kids show interest in coding, and I look for opportunities to get them interested, because I think it’s good for them, but some days, man, I wish I could lock myself in a quiet room and focus.
