Imho the "otherwise" option should be on the top of your list.

Tools/best practices come and go, can be learned quickly with so much information out there.

That said, be curious and try different things and you will know what you like. Passion amplifies learning by a magnitude.

All of the above is imho, that I would've told younger myself.

Sure, most definitely. Although I hope I wasn't giving off the illusion of neglecting my core topics, I certainly wasn't planning on that. I was just thinking that perhaps some of the topics present a sort of diminishing 'rate of return', since going too in-depth past a certain point may not be too useful/enlightening(?). But this may just be purely ignorant thinking on my part, since I have not fully grasped the important parts of each commonly taught CS topic yet.
