Learn as you develop. I've been there, I've felt like I'm constantly switching techs because my app should have the most bleeding edge stuff.. And in the end I always felt overwelmed at the sheer amount of frameworks/libs coming out every year, or at how the larning curve of each tech didn't allow me to actually develop because I couldn't get past the "Researching and trying out tech before marrying a technology" phase.

The thing is: You A) Don't need to learn the newest things if all you want is to create a cool app. And B) Won't get anything from learning about building apps without actually building them.

Maybe you do need to get off HN, but I recommend just browsing HN safely and knowing that there'll be time to learn these new things if you learn them through making cool stuff. If your priority is to make apps, these new frameworks shouldn't bother you so much. You can make a nice app just with Flask.

But I do feel old too. I used to think Angular was the hottest thing.. Now I hardly enjoy it lol but that's because my Angular-married colleagues use very outdated practices, which were "modern" a few years ago.
