Great article Ekin. I like especially Question number 3. I think a lot is debatable. It is probably not that black and white. There are many shades of gray. I think any extreme is probably not very good. Extreme being sticking to one and only one thing for a long long time, or changing too many times :)
Thanks, Sanele! I definitely agree that it's not black and white. It also depends a lot on the person and the context. :-)
The general rule of thumb I follow is this: I find something that I enjoy (e.g., learning how to code), pick a vertical that is popular and easy to learn (e.g., PHP language), practice sufficiently to see if it's worth it (e.g., pass the Valley of Despair*). I found it's more efficient this way because it would make my life easier when I switched.
