that this is the point where you really start to learn.
I think you learned until now, and you will learn your entire career (hopefully). There are some key "Ahhaaa" points where you connect the dots, those are the grateful moments.

We are all overwhelmed by the web ecosystem, there are too many paradigms, techniques, frameworks and technologies to keep up with all of them, especially if you are a full stack web developer, as an experienced one, and a mentor to a few junior web devs, I can confirm that.

To keep it pragmatic is ok to extend your tentacles to scratch the surfaces of more frameworks and languages without understanding how they work, to get the job done. With time, you will dive deeper into them, but always keep the (octopus) core strong, you have to be good at something, and always expand the outer areas.
