Listen "Should I learn “Insert Language or Framework”?"
Episode Synopsis
It's a question you've heard or seen a million times if you've spent time in web development communities online. Should I learn this or what should I learn next?
No question is a dumb question of course.. let's start there. But often I think there doesn't need to be a next. It's ok to just focus on the basics at certain times or getting better at what's in front of you. Or just chilling until something comes along that tells you what to learn; that inspires you to take action.
The better thing to do often is to simply look inside yourself. What gets you excited. What past experience might tell you what is a good direction for you. In my opinion how much money you can make isn't the right question either; I've a big proponent of following your passion.. doing things that inspire you first.
