Humans are wired to focus on one thing at a time.

@patrick is dead-on, you can't do it all.

@panda -- Are you employed or a student, or just learning?

My recommendation -- Target the languages/frameworks you use the most, so if your Docking/Kubeing for 4+ hours a day, then it makes sense to dive deep in there and become a subject matter expert.

If you're on a team, delegate other tasks that you may not be so proficient with, to your colleagues.

Finally, if you're in a situation where you have to learn all of that stuff at a rapid pace, you're going to introduce defects into production, that I can assure you. In that case, find a different employer Fam!
