You may have been in the work force for longer than your peers, but you're still green in this new career track. You'll just have to accept that you're going to get a little under foot from time to time. This is why you get to make so much more later :)

Early in my career I also felt overwhelmed, you get this feeling that there's so much to learn and almost no time. What if you spend a month training on Angular only to find it's out of date?? My advice, don't worry about that. Even if that happened, the knowledge is still useful because either (A. the release docs of the next version will be enough to get you up to speed) or (B. you've just been exposed to one approach of doing things and you will see this re-surface at a latter point.)

Take one piece of technology or programming technique you're using or need to know in your current job, get some books, training videos, etc. and learn it well, then move on.
