Ask HN: Have there been periods in your SDE job where you were not improving?

By improvement, I mean in terms of individual skills/knowledge and not w.r.t promotions and hikes. How did you tackle the individual lethargy in such periods

Software engineering is about modeling the world. Sometimes you need more world experience than modeling techniques.

It's important from time to time to take a break and learn something new, otherwise all you'll know is how to model software and not the real world.
