Came across this Twitter thread the other day. It's not exactly about programming but overall same thing:

1/ there is this sense when you are young that your accomplishments need to be a list of things that seem impressive to others. A list of several items you did.
This isn't actually right, so here is another suggestion.

It's OK to try many things to figure out what interests you the most. But don't confuse being informed with true knowledge. It sounds like it's time for you to settle down with one tech stack, grow your problem-solving skills with it and go deep on timeless fundamentals (books like these).
Great advice Marko! I really like what Julien says here:

Java Web Developer with a passion for Spring and cloud computing. Know a thing or two about AWS. Trying to learn NodeJS lately with the help of TypeScript.
I don't try out all those things because of a sense of accomplishment, it is simply because I'm curious. hahaha
But yeah, you are right, I will need to focus on more Java, web development and AWS in 2019, this is the main subjects I need to take care of.
I will take a look at the books, thanks! :)
