As a software engineer I have adapted to the world turning upside down every couple of years and having to learn new concepts and technologies. However, I have been noticing other fields struggling to adapt as things change in a faster scale.

For example, some researchers have pointed out that the number of papers about ADHD increases exponentially every year. However, most mental health professionals, at least in my area, seem to be severily outdated, often using information that has been debunked within the last 10-20 years.

So, I was wondering if other fields are affected and how they are adapting?

    I went from being “to forward thinking” in my last job, to catching up with what cutting edge IT setups can be even some state of the art stuff too.

    I take heart knowing that despite the pace of innovation the reality is it takes a lot of time and effort for things to really go into practice.

    K8s for example is just now getting “boring” for the early adopters IMHO. Its crazy how long its been going and how many systems are built on it, but there are plenty of diverse opinions on implementions still.
