Sometimes it seems like the tech world demands too much from a programmer. As a developer learning is always a constant thing because to remain relevant in the industry you have to keep up with newly introduce trends in languages, frameworks, modern conventions in code writing, etc.
Companies need developers to not only be updated but also fully equipped with the information required to solve their problems and keep them at the forefront of their competitors in the business world. But does a developer need to have every bit of information in every subject related to development like knowing the A-Z of programming, frameworks, operating systems, conventions, history e.t.c (classroom approach) or knowing the relevant things which are required to solve problems (company approach)?
