Yes, but none of this is really specific to web development. It&#x27;s just the nature of being a technologist.<p>It&#x27;s really a balancing act of picking the latest and greatest vs. picking the tried and tested. No one wants to learn something that&#x27;ll be useless in a year. Alternatively if you forego learning anything new then you&#x27;ll miss out on technologies that can actually help you.<p>For me, I don&#x27;t really view learning things as wasted time. Even if I don&#x27;t use some technology I learned a year or two ago, there&#x27;s plenty of valuable lessons that can be learned from why things didn&#x27;t work out.<p>It would get frustrating if I were learning all the wrong things all the time. So, I focus on the things that genuinely get me excited followed shortly by new technology that isn&#x27;t completely fresh.
