As a student, you can learn how to place "the new shiny" into the context of technology industry history, including academic research papers and industry war stories from teams that built successful products. When you read tech "history" books, the lens of time separates hype from lasting innovations. Also worth going back a few hundred years in engineering history [2] to look at first principles that still apply in the modern world, even though tools have changed. With historical perspective, you can choose a "v1.0" or even a "v0.1" modern tool with confidence, when you have reason to believe that it's effectively "v255.0" in a lineage of discontinuous improvement that spans centuries.
