Should I use the cool, new and awesome stuff [closed]
- by Ieyasu Sawada
I'm in the field of Web Development. I follow a lot of awesome people
on Twitter(Paul Irish, Alex Sexton, David Walsh, Rebecca Murphey, etc.)
By following these people I'm constantly updated of the
new and cool stuff in web development(backbone.js, angular.js, require.js, ember.js, jasmine, etc.)
Now I'm creating a web application for a client and because of the different tools, libraries, plugins
that I'm aware of I don't even know anymore when do I need to use those or do I even need those, or how do
I even implement it in a sane way where I won't have to repeat myself(DRY).
What's your advice on what I really need to do in order to become better. Do I really need to
use these cool new tools or should I just stick with what I know for now and try to make my code better.
Should I unfollow these people in order to not pollute my mind with stuff that I can't really use now
because I don't have the necessary experience in order to use it. What sort of things should I really be focusing on for someone like me who has only about 2 years of experience in the field of web development.
