I strongly recommend reading the following book - https://www.amazon.com/Good-They-Cant-Ignore-You/dp/1455509124 https://www.amazon.com/Good-They-Cant-Ignore-You/dp/14555091... It's a fantastic book by a now tenured CS professor that provides a good framework for how to think about your career / career satisfaction. He encourages working backwards from the lifestyle you want to the skills you need to master to where you are right now. His framework provides a lot of clarity and helps you ignore the roller coaster of announcements, updates, and new "things" you FEEL like you need to stay on top of. You can also just read some of his blog posts - calnewport.com/blog - if you don't feel like buying the book. Or check out some of his interviews, etc.
