Nothing to add, so, I took quotes and grouped them.
Hacker News is :
1- a jungle of expertise.
" tripping over each other's areas of expertise which were literally years in the making. "
" I shouldn't compare my personal knowledge with the combined knowledge of a community "
" A lot of the trends people get fixated on tend to fade away in a few months "
" The four topics you list are all high BS "
" HN bubble will always make readers feel behind when in reality 90% of the industry hasn’t even begun to catch-up "
" No need to keep up with the "bleeding edge" of technology "
1- Try to just enjoy it
" Stop taking fomo quite seriously. I suggest that you just stop giving a shit. "
" JOMO (joy of missing out) "
" here for the smart(er) people with experience in different areas. The thing that makes you anxious is the reason I enjoy being here "
" stressed that they HAVE to learn more. "
" feelings of insecurity and inferiority and the imposter syndrome "
" If you want to feel relieved you could try reading the comments section when some topic you know stuff about is posted "
" prioritize whatever you want or need in life "
" allocation your effort toward things you need to know for progress, and indexing those things you dont need to know right now "
" you've been working in software for almost 20 years and all of the stuff that doesn't concern you actually doesn't concern you. "
