This year was React, and that turned into React, Material UI, Redux, GraphQL, Prisma, Mongo, Heroku and a slew of other technologies to learn around React. It became overwhelming, and I feel like I did not learn much.

I am taking a step back in 2020 and fine tune my skills in React. The problem I face is that I don't think I can just learn React. I have to carry the entire load of all these additional frameworks to be productive.

Oh wow, yeah things soon snowball don't they! I found that when I first picked up Docker. It was oooo Docker and then oooo Kubernetes and then oooo Istio and then ooooo service mesh etc etc etc...

I think stepping back is a great idea. Part of the reason why I've enjoyed React so much is taking it really slow and taking my time with the basics before moving on to the more real-world applicable, enjoyable and complex things.

Good luck with everything though :)
