You don't, you just sort of exist doing what you're doing but always thinking there's a better way of doing things / better tech stack out there. There usually is. But that's just technology for you. You can't be on top of everything all of the time otherwise you'd literally spend all day every day just learning about new technology.

At some point you need to commit. It's like relationships. How do you choose a partner out of billions of options? You browse around, learn what you like and don't like, make judgement calls, play around with some and eventually either make a conscious "this is the one" decision or else make a "we've been together so long, I guess we're a couple now" decision. At some point it becomes formal and you stop actively looking at other options because you're content with the option you chose.
