Well, a critical eye is a must. Just keep away from the noise and pay attention to what would really make an improvement on your current framework/workflow.

For example, I still do my web development in Django or Flask because they do the job, I'm pretty good at Python and most projects don't really need the concurrency Go or Elixir offer.

One of the best recent additions to my skillset was Docker... a lot of people say containers are not a must but they really made my life easier and allowed me to do cool things for clients from different industries.

It doesn't sound as cool as doing machine learning, computer vision or natural language processing, but don't let the AI/VR hype make you anxious, just focus on what you really want to do.
