Counter thought: Trying to keep up is keeping you behind.
If you're in a stable employment situation, diving deeper into existing things you use will be more beneficial than knowing the tip of 10 different icebergs.
Learning something by doing a hello world or building a todo list app really skims the surface of what its like to work with that tech on a constant basis. After working in software development for a couple decades, I have the mindset that I can learn any of these if I need to, the underlying tech doesn't change that much.
- szark 5y agoThanks matt_s. That's an interesting way of framing it. Since posting I've decided to let go of trying to keep up with everything and instead focus on improving my existing skills, which will actually be more beneficial to me and my team in the long run than having a basic understanding of everything out there. Thanks for your insight! :)
