There's a subtle trap in a software development career. If you're anyway half-way decent (maybe a little above average) you'll get renumerated well enough to maybe get complacent. There's enough work available in big cities to never feel the fear that you'll be out of a job. Unless you have the work ethic described above, it's possible to coast for long enough to become a bit stale.
About mid way through my career to date I got a bit overwhelmed by the fact that if I stayed an engineer I'd be learning and relearning forever - it seemed a bit pointless that all of this info would be discarded as it went out of date. So I gave up a bit and have had to play a bit of catch up. I've had to embrace the mindset that knowledge is a tool. I still seek for wisdom though.
