Comment on "waves of technological innovation" have gotten faster over time, "students might now find themselves learning skills in college that are obsolete by the time they graduate"

  I mean if your answer is always books, then it would make sense that one might not be aware of change. It takes a long time to create a book and things are changing at a much more rapid pace, so your learnt “skill” is no longer relevant in todays job market even though it may be new to you

    Every technology or framework is documented somewhere, whether it’s in a book or in its documentation. Once you have the basics, you can update your own knowledge with more books or docs.

    I don’t know of any piece of technology that is changing so fast that it’s not documented anywhere. At most you have ReactJS which is a weird usage of JavaScript, but you still can find the docs and learn.

      Godot is pretty well documented, idk what you’re talking about.

        I never said that it lacked documentation. I said there is a more universal underlying theory that you can learn and which hasn’t changed in years.
