I tend to do that naturally, but in an effort to get more experiences in life, I try to always go for something new.

For me, I think absolutely. Sometimes to the point where I don't consider myself a 'real' programmer and feel like a faker any time I'm talking with someone more skilled than myself. I've always been much better at just getting things done than learning an entire catalog. Maybe it's because I spend half my time in the design space, where I also have no training and also feel like a 'faker'.

I've looked in various apprenticeships like thoughtbot's and others, but at my age (30) I am not their usual target demo.

It's why I'm so grateful for hackernews. i learn a lot of great stuff here from the 'real' developers that I can then apply in my day-to-day.
