I’m yet to learn something that I never ever use. If not directly, it fleshes out my mental model of the software engineering field which is incredibly valuable (but usually, everything I learnt has been pretty directly useful at some point) As a rule of thumb (not quite _always_ true), if you couldn’t implement the lib yourself you will be showing some skills gap in some way or other
