Technical Know-How - Continual Forgetting
Yesterday, I met with a friend of mine from a previous company where i worked for 3 years as an Angular developer. He at a new company now but still working with Angular as the primary tech stack. I found myself trying to recall a bit of what I knew about Angular... and totally drawing a blank. I was a full-time developer in this technology as recently as 2.5 years ago, and I found I couldn't even remember what the code looked like. Would i even recognize my own code if i saw it? Similarly, I talked with a friend of mine who is working to learn software engineering, and I told him that I very much enjoyed Vue and found it to be "the most fun" out of the frameworks in which I've written production code: KnockoutJS, AngularJS, Angular (2+), React, Vue, and Ember. He asked me what makes it the most fun. I could think of a few things that gave me that impression and gave a passable answer (dynamic attributes, terse syntax, v-if and v-else in the template, etc.), but
