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?

    As someone with more than 5LOE I’ve found that technology matters less and general concepts are more valuable.

    So look at system design concepts, how infra you use typically works (pubsub, databases, etc), how companies solve problems (engineering blogs from companies like slack, meta etc)

    Learning new languages only helps if you are currently working on something obscure.
