Yes.. being post-40 doesn’t inherently lessen one’s ability to learn.

Rather, it’s the weight of management of things accumulated over the years that interrupt out natural curiosity and keep us from “learning”.

I believe you have to drop some things and not worry about forgetting them, in order to make time and space for new things.

I have, in the past year, become quite proficient at Docker Swarm, Flutter, Dart, and Go.

In the next year, I have my sights on Rust and a reintroduction to calculus.

Learning isn’t the issue. Finding the time to learn uninterrupted is the issue, IMHO.

I did give up Facebook completely, which has opened up a lot of time.
