Focus on what interests you and build. Keep your radar on for relevant developments and inspiring things but by no means pressure yourself to stay on top of everything. In fact, focus on a smaller and smaller niche that interests you deeply.
That’s what I do anyway
- the_only_law 3y ago> Focus on what interests you and build. I did this for some years and now I’m having the worst job hunt I’ve ever had to deal with. I’m not totally out of the loop as far as the hype goes, I’m on HN too much for that, but I wasted the past couple years learning “interesting” things instead of whatever the trend for languages/frameworks/tools were.
- bckr 3y agoWhat's missing here is networking, getting connected with people who are interested in the things you're interested in. There's also an aspect of calculating whether there's a path to doing what you're interested in full time and getting paid. My original comment was about not getting swept up in / overwhelmed by hype. Discussing employment was out of the original scope, at least by my intentions.
- the_only_law 3y agoFair enough, I just figured there’s not much point to worry about hype unless for employment reasons.
