I'm turning 28 this year and I still feel I got a really really long way ahead in understanding Javascript and all the new web app building technologies happening.

Feeling a little frustrated for not learning faster and getting kind a stuck, I'm not getting any younger.

Just 28 and feeling old ?

There are people at their 50 who had a career at accounting or psychology and started to learn programming and changed their careers. Maybe because I used to think that way it's because your comparing yourself to others. Just trust the process and have fun. Give programming 2 hours a day and probably in a week you won't see results but maybe in 5 months you will.

I feel the same way at age of 27. Here's to hoping ;)

Concentrate on solving real problems, seeing needs and filling needs. The​ code is your tool and you will learn all sorts of languages and technologies.
Try working with Raspberry Pi or some robotics project to have some problems to figure out. Plus, it is fun.

Don't worry about all the "new" frameworks which promise you the world. After some time, you'll realise you've worked with something similar to them in the past. Very very rarely you'd see something truly novel.

Great developers never stop learning, have a growth mindset.

If you stop, you will become a monkey. And will probably be a subject of many rants.

@rusty-hacker yea basically become a T shaped developer: breadth and some depth, can always pick things up.

That's actually what sets me apart from a lot of people I work with... Most need hand holding...

I feel ya. I am 23 been working for nearly 2 years now and sometimes I feel like I am already too old and slow because everyone keeps talking about some new framework or tool and I am still on the same platform I started with. It feels like I was celebrating my bday yesterday which was six months ago.

My 2 cents: Avoid the Hype Driven Development (there are posts about that).

Thanks for the all the comments guys, I appreciate empathy.

I guess I just get like this at 2:30am when I just can't figure out why my code isn't working, I'll try to just look forward and keep studying and practicing.

When I got older, it really helped me to know this neat trick:
Java is short for JavaScript.
