I follow a simple principle: keep a seriously great work ethic, and don't sweat what you don't know. Trust me when I say most "innovation" -- aka the stuff you might not understand right away -- is really just a re-hashing or re-packaging of something that's been done before. Getting "up to speed and being current" doesn't require first-mover advantage. Use your work ethic to learn something when you need.
