Wouldn't it be a better use of your time to up-skill in something that can enhance your personal or professional life?

Sure, one can learn about OpenFaaS with this project, but is there truly a market demand for it? And how does it benefit the learner?

What is best for you to learn is not a question I can answer. That depends on your goals and your knowledge and I don't know what they are.

This reminded me of: "we live in such a time of plenty with respect to things we can learn that it is important to make conscious choices about what not to learn".

That's a great quote, where did it come from?

[earleybird]

My apologies. I now see that it might look like a quote. I was trying to capture the sense of an HN submission (or perhaps it was some posts - I can't seem to find it now) from a few days ago that was discussing the abundance of opportunity we have these days for learning pretty much anything we might be interested in. Years ago I would make weekly trips to the local university to read journals and drop a dime per page to copy articles of interest on the library's photocopier. The internet existed but was limited to universities etc.

Well, the quote is attributed to you!

I've been seeing this more and more as people and whole organizations feel compelled to learn everything that comes their way.

It's tech FOMO!
