One simple question: ‘What do I need right now?’

It’s that easy, and it’s no different from almost any other engineering job other than there being exponentially more tools to potentially work with as a developer.

The key here is to remain flexible, because being flexible is almost always a more desirable trait among employers than specialization. This approach also helps avoid the issue of having to keep up to date on fast moving technologies unless you actually use them, which can significantly help you in retaining your sanity.
