It feels like there is a new JavaScript framework or database tool released every single week. Trying to keep up with all of them is a fast track to burnout. Here is how I manage the constant influx of new tech:
Ignore the hype cycle: Just because a new tool is trending on social media does not mean you need to rewrite your production application in it.
Double down on fundamentals: Browsers, networking protocols, data structures, and system architecture rarely change. If you know these well, picking up the new syntax of the week only takes a few hours.
Build instead of read: You will learn more by building one small, ugly project with a new tool than by reading ten tutorials about it. Pick one thing a month, build a toy app, and then move on.
