I'm a dev with a strong *NIX sysadmin background. I've been programming for 20+ years, started with IRC scripts, C, Python, PHP, Ruby/Rails, Node/JS, Go and Elxir. Full time on Ruby,Elixir and Rust.
I don't have a better advice than this. IMHO, passion is the main fuel to study & learn, practice, improve, retry (several times until you reach your goal) even when it all seems frustrating.
After all, programming and IT-related topics can be very boring if you (really) don't like it.
Put passion.

Very true. I sometimes ask myself why I'm still doing this. But I guess it's because of passion.
