  The Greatest Developer Fallacy Or The Wisest Words You’ll Ever Hear?

"I will learn it when I need it"! I've heard that phrase a lot over the years; it seems like a highly pragmatic attitude to foster when you're in an industry as fast-paced as software development.

The problem is this, in the guise of sounding like a wise and practical developer, people use it as an exc...

The first thing I seem ...
