Knowing less when growing up, Thinking more when time is limited

After being a programmer for years, gaining different kind of experience and knowledge. I should feel I am a “senior grade” programmer. But it’s not the truth. The fact is, sometime, i felt that the world is too big for me, too much information , times passed so fast too. In the time I am growing up, the world grew even faster. It’s a bit hard to catch up sometime. Like my current position, as a programmer. There are so much choices for you to do a better jobs (better means faster, simpler, useful). And the number of choices sometime is the big obstacle, because you never know it gonna be the right/best choice, and end up waste most of the time in thinking which path has the most advantage for you.
And this weekend, I remembered this approach is not totally right. When i was teenage, i never think twice to do whatever i want, and “Just Do it”. So, I hope this article is a reminder for me, let me balance two extreme way, and use my time wisely from now on.
