Discussion on: "Learn at least one new language every year" is bad advice

I'm not arguing against learning multiple languages or stacks.

Everyone has a limited amount of time to devote to learning and all I'm proposing is that people think about what would benefit them the most and learn that instead of blindly following something misquoted from a book written almost 20 years ago.

I didn't think you were, I just wanted to explicitly make the point that learning a second language is hugely beneficial. I agree that trying to learn one every year is pretty misguided.

Cool. It's hard to communicate clearly in comments.

Cheers.
