Specialize, escape, or accept.


Like "Abort, Retry, Fail"? And same as there, what's the difference between the first and the third? Is there a way of accepting a new sdk every week without specializing?


Specializing means bypassing the problem. Accepting means welcoming or acquiescing.


I don't understand, how can you acquiesce to a situation whereby "As a developer everything changes every week"? Not even the most "on the bleeding edge" JS developers can switch frameworks every week, and the pace is continuously accelerating. As I see it, the only way to stay sane and productive is to specialize to a sub-area where you can stick to a technology for at (the very) least 3 months.
