My take on what is exciting yields the following questions:

How much time have you spent with design patterns?

How much time have you spent with WebSockets?

How much time have you spent with Asynchronous coding?

How much time have you spent with Taligent MVP concepts?

How much time have you spent with Reactive Extensions?

How much time have you spent with ReactJS?

How much time have you spent with drinking and playing CS:Go?

Have you ever considered the concepts that are being taught as the 'leading edge of thought'? AKA Abraham Hicks. There is a whole new world that talks about an evolution of the human species simply by realizing that you have a 'higher mind' which exists in spirit world and that you can connect with that pure positive energy and when you do your life becomes an explosion of Synchronicity (see bashar.org).

Not joking but these are all fads, mostly recycled ideas and nowhere near the leading edge of thought. The moment you hit your mid 30s or ~15 years experience, motivation is driven by two aspects:

1. what hurt you badly in the last 15 years

2. which things have already been done but have been reinvented an repackaged differently.

I've seen all these before in other incarnations.
