Good question in a brain picking 🍴🧠 call today: how do you stay engaged when
there are constantly new things to learn and you don't really know, which ones
will be relevant in a few years?
There is a saying that if you do what you enjoy, you will find the job for these
skills. /status/940636875794067456
This has been true for me. I also made decisions to not to learn highly
marketable skills (e.g. Java, Crypto) because they didn't appeal to me, and also
switched to less marketable skills at the time (from serverbased PHP to
serverless JavaScript), because I was seeing potential.
I then also found the projects to test out these skills, which helped me to
learn them more effectively. I've talked about one of the tricks I use to try
out new things safely here: https://youtu.be/6EEOBdM81Dw?t=17
