I’m having this experience also. I’ve changed technologies several times over the last 20 years, each time diving into more complex languages, and I’m finding that not only is my understanding deepening it’s also accelerating. I look back on my previous developer self and shake my head with disbelief at how little I really knew at each stage.
Incidentally I also needed to learn a whole new spoken language over the same period (having moved country) and now having mastered that, I’ve begun another course to learn French (to add to the other three languages I speak).
What I do recognize is the energy lacking to just follow ‘any’ project that I had in my 20s and 30s. Now my learning is focused and attuned.
