Work with a talented team. You learn things you would never learn otherwise as a solo dev. The human interaction side, writing more universal code. You'd be amazed how much code makes complete sense to the author but isn't clear to team mates.
Learning new things on your own is good. Having a good employer that encourages on the job learning is very important. Whatever you use this year might be obsolete the next. Action Script anyone?
Don't pressure yourself to work all the time. Maintain a healthy balance. Eventually I think every developer goes through a period of being overwhelmed. You can't learn it all, even if you work 15 hour days. Learning is a journey so pace yourself.
