It's a trend in engineers these days to pick up and try on every new thing in the market to make themselves more employable. I think it's not by any fault of their own. The job description of a role in may-a-cases probably describes the whole team instead of an individual which vary from knowing basics of development flowing through CI/CD to trouble-shooting and fixing production issues.
Hoping to add everything to the skillset, I see a lot of folks including me at times learning one thing or another every other day from web-development to newer frameworks and backend, multiple languages.
On top of that we ought to be part of social community and again there are so many of them on different platforms. You could be on twitter, facebook, could be making videos or vlogs on Youtube or could be on Dev, Hashnode. There are so many platform to be learning from like Udemy, Udacity, edX and you could be spending a lot of time there.
If that's not enough, people are involved in Discord communities continuously sharing ideas, building groups, networking.
Between all of it and networking, LinkedIn can not be ignored and hence you engage with a different group or set of people there.
And it feels like going round in circles without achieving much at hand. What's everyone take on it and how if; they have been efficiently been able to manage all of it and have grown in their way through it.

I do my best to just focus on one thing at a time. If I'm learning a technology, I make sure that I'm spending my time getting familiar with that technology, and nothing else. It's hard to ignore everything else going on around you, bit in my opinion, it needs to happen if you want to make progress on whatever you're learning.
