Try to learn WHY some particular technologies exists and popular. Try to understand the Ruby's style (describing, rather than coding) and the Python's way (simplicity, clarity, readability). Try to realize bloatedness, meaningless syntax fluff and limitations of Java (NIO2 is just a spec). The approach to C programming of Linus (once again clarity and readability), and then compare it to FreeBSD and OpenBSD projects. Look at webkit, chromium, qt and try too figure out which sub-set of C++ is portable and safe to use, and when it a right tool. Read the source code of nginx, varnish, openssh, sqlite, v8 or whatever you like.
