You must realize that there is not enough time in a lifetime to read (not speaking of understand and practice) all the literature behind computer science, although is a new one, only 60yrs old. So I recommend choose the battles you can win.
For example, I'm interested in data engineering, after watching hours of panels and tutorials I discovered all the papers in the field since 1977, so ... ofc I will not have time to go trough all of them.
If you do the math (8h work + 1h launch break + 1-2h commute + 7-10h sleep) and deduct the time of family/hobbies/actually living you don't have much left for personal development, so choose on what you are spending it carefully.
I'm a web generalist, I scope trough many fields and I stop at a certain point. Especially when frameworks/tools are involved because the env changes so fast I realized I would waste time being an expert in just one of these (ex: react, jenkins, docker ...).
As an addition to the article I recommend YouTube panels from conferences and meetup.com.

So true.
