As a software engineer I have adapted to the world turning upside down every couple of years and having to learn new concepts and technologies. However, I have been noticing other fields struggling to adapt as things change in a faster scale.

For example, some researchers have pointed out that the number of papers about ADHD increases exponentially every year. However, most mental health professionals, at least in my area, seem to be severily outdated, often using information that has been debunked within the last 10-20 years.

So, I was wondering if other fields are affected and how they are adapting?

Edit: Bonus question, assuming a 40hr week (a luxury for most), how much time out those 40hrs would you need to spend on education?

    That would require feeling like I was ever ahead.

      Lmao for real

      Every time I’ve gotten a real pay increase it’s because I’ve hopped to a new company.

      I hate to admit that my first couple times as a manager I left as soon as I felt like I actually knew what I was doing and not just faking it
