An important part of our work is to learn new stuff all the time. That's why we are pretty much used to the pain, like waiting for the ketchup effect, before we really get it.

But in the last year or so I have been reminded of another pain, that of not wanting to go back. I have been playing with and learning about, for instance, Ruby, Rails and Haskell and when I then step back to C# 1.1 and 2.0, it's not as much fun as it used to be. There is so much stuff to write that I don't think I should have to... Sure, C# 3 will become pretty Haskell-ish, but that misses my point here.

I've seen the light! I only want to work with the "new" stuff, NOW!

Don't get me wrong, of course I'm not leaving my old customers and projects behind, but one may wish to be able to spend more time with "new" stuff. That must be allowed, surely?
:-)
