Let me remind you for the 56th time that being a “monkey see, monkey do” coder will not get you places. You should actually learn the foundations of computer science. Most true innovation in computer science stopped decades ago. The “innovation” we see nowadays is simply re-arranging things that already existed + better hardware and faster networks. (Not an insult to innovators today, genuine innovation today takes skill this decade just as it did decades past). The way you stay “caught up” with the latest changes is by learning the foundations. - Rust is basically a mish-mash of C++ and functional programming - AI is just computer graphics, linear algebra, and a touch of calculus - Blockchain is just distributed compute with byzantine fault tolerance requirement - SVM, EVM, CairoVM, etc are just variations of the Von-Neumann architecture with minor changes. - ZK programming (Circom, Halo2, etc) is merely a cousin of logic programming. - ZK itself uses math and cryptography algorithms that have existed for a long time. If you are struggling to keep up, it’s not because you aren’t learning fast enough, it’s because you don’t understand the bricks that everything we call “computer science” nowadays is made up of. Metaphorically, if all you can do is stick frozen pizzas into the microwave, you will eventually be replaced. If you know how flour, yeast, cheese, etc interact with each other, then you can be a real chef and adapt even if ingredient availability changes.
