Learning what's new and shiny is great, but try to spend time this year building something, seeing it live in the wild, fixing and debugging it, nurturing it. Build on your critical thinking.

Perhaps do that with a new technology :)

This is a good point.

I would suggest the same, building something and let it pass out to the public or contributing to the existing projects that might be using the stack that you want to work with.

You learn a lot when you share your own work to others. Good life lessons or maybe career lessons are often learned when sharing something.
