in reply to Programmer Endorphins: When does the learning process end?

Seems that this question comes up quite often. Not that it's a bad thing. I think something new gets dragged up each time.

"When you've stopped learning, you might as well be dead."

a small sample of links which have bearing:
push on, learn and code; by japhy,
Why do monks put up with it?,
and from way back Never be an expert Programmer: It really starts
with little mistress's node.

    "When you've stopped learning, you might as well be dead."

    I say that ALL the time.

    Advice to newbies: if you want to be a programmer, then know that it is a never-ending journey, and besides, the point of the journey is not to arrive. . .

    Besides, if you do get to the end of your programming journey before you die (barring a change of careers), then you will probably wake up one morning and realize you are in Dilbert-Land, complete with Pointy-Headed Imbeciles.

    "When you've stopped learning, you might as well be dead."

    My version is "If you don't learn at least one new thing a day, you are dead." =)
