I like to think I'm the same way; I haven't won a Turing award yet, and I don't even have a PhD, but I've always been someone who is sort of obsessed with learning new things about software and math. It's basically been the only edge I've had over most of my peers: my willingness to learn new things to try and keep up with trends. Peoples' unwillingness to learn new things has been highlighted recently with AI, but tech has famously always progressed pretty quickly and I've always been terrified of being left behind.

I've grown to really respect lifelong learners. It's very easy (and tempting!) to stop learning after university, but I think it's worth it to never feel like you've learned "enough". My dad is looking to retire soonish, and he's considering re-enrolling in University to get a masters in theoretical physics since he always felt he should have learned that better. I hope I'm the same way when I'm his age.

Back when I studied philosophy at university, the oldest person in my class was in his seventies and just took random courses in fields that interested him since his retirement 10+ years previously.

I like to think that I'd do something similar, as long as I'd have the energy.
