exactly right!
if you try to learn everything, you will end up building TodoMVC in 42 frameworks/language combinations, and really, what's the point?

Learn something, build something cool with it no matter how simple, show it to the world and iterate from there

Publishing new things these days is so easy that anyone can do it. That's so amazing but we get flooded with new packages all the time.

It's really important to do very small toy examples on the ones you actually think you need, but only deeply learn the ones that really move the needle. It's really hard for any framework to be so much better that it moves the needle in existing projects.
