Hey, great post and I couldn't agree more!

Same thing happened to me, learning a new technology every 1-3 weeks or so, for about 6 years and the burn out was real (and recurring).

Finally settled on a "boring" stack (PETAL) that feels good for me and I actually started being WAY more productive on actually getting things done in very little time.

It's good to study up on fundamentals (knowledge that is generally applicable and NOT tied to a specific framework/library) but "boring" & stability are great productivity multipliers!

Remember these are merely tools. Spending 90% of your time learning how to use them will not really help you finish any actual work or solve actual problems(IMHO)

Cheers
