I’m a mid-level backend dev, ~3 years YOE. I wanted to seriously start thinking about expanding my skillset and learning new stuff / new technologies outside of my daily tasks. But I’m unsure of how to start, how to decide, what would be most helpful to my career, etc. Any advice?
I think more info is needed. Are you looking for recent developments adjacent to stuff you already work with? Or something entirely different so you get some variety? Knowing your current experience will help know what’s relevant.
Yeah I was debating putting that info in OP because I’m also unsure of which direction I should go. I have experience in Java, Javascript, Python, database language / querying, systems design, cloud infra, etc. all the foundational stuff of backend devs (+ some full-stack experience).
