Front-end or Back-end, DevOps, React or Next 😖, React Native or flutter ? AI ? ML ? LLMs ? Abracadabra…whooosh…. 

I have been into the same loop of confusion and thoughtlessness too, multiple times, Honestly endless time and still tend to get into the same mindset time and agin, Being a software engineer it’s very easy for the anxiety and adhd to kick in combined with imposter syndrome with sprinkles of ego induced perfectionism problem and tech trends and new technologies are more than enough to make you discouraged and feel like a sloth. 

🎯 Staying on track with the pre decided course of action

Juggling between a lot of things may seem productive from a far sight but we all know from a closer look that servers no purpose and even contribute more towards to monkey mind. Solution ? well in short I DO NOT KNOW ! 🤷‍♂️

But I found a balance where I feel comfortable enough to make progress and also be in loop with the trending technologies. It’s a no magic hack, it’s just a serious of brute force / hit and trial processes to find out which worked for me. Which involve firstly being consistent with one technology/framework and working on it for a longer period of time, for me it is the language JavaScript and frameworks (Yes, yes I know, which one ? right ! we will come to this in a bit) revolving around that for full stack application development, building personal project and doing my primary job as a software engineer. 

But that is not the only language I know, I know Python as well, C++ and I can get by with dart also and currently I am little bit involved with Swift and apple development ecosystem. But 70 percent of the time I spend only with Javascript. 

Now coming back to the frame works point, I main work with Reactjs as you might have guessed and React Native, but again I know Gatsy as well, I have worked heavily with Nextjs too, Nestjs for API development, a little bit flirting with express here and there, 

Choosing one language, framework and use case (for me it’s application development) and stick with it, trust you will still not be able to master it if you dedicate your life toward that ONE 

How to choose that is out of scope of this blog but once you know this then you can relax a bit and spend time becoming better at it, and when you get a sneak peak of that sexy framework calling you or giving you mixed signals, steal some time from your the ONE and do a mini adventure with this shiny new framework which might look good from far but from closer look it might be just ANOTHER framework (not only about frameworks 😆) plus it’s boring to work on one thing for a long period of time and new technologies can very enticing in terms of learning opportunity, exploring new things or just being a better coder. 

Deciding your One LFU and sticking with it for a long period of time, when I long I do not mean three months or an year, I mean at least three to four years once you reach a level where can read the language / frame work / problem statement like your native language. 

Next, once this framework or language becomes second nature to your, you can steal some time from it and dedicate it to learn Those new attractive/ emerging technologies for which you have a FOMO. For me that is 

 right now, for which I am taking this short course from an 

Lastly, Have fun while doing all this, their is no progress or learning if you are not enjoying this journey of being a software engineering, being always on your toes, learning different tools and technologies, try to make the best out of every learning opportunity you get and share your progress with other developers and get some insights form the community as well.
