I know this feeling well. A big part of my motivation for starting dev.to was a feeling of "screw this, I'm just going to go build a basic Rails blog".
Easier said than done, but I've tried to put myself in a position where I can be on the slightly later end of the adoption cycle where there's just fewer things going on because we tend to settle on a few good ideas in a space (for a short while at least).
I’m a web developer & data visualizer working at a think tank in D.C. I'm a self-taught dev trying to better my skills. I spend most of my time on the front end of the stack.
