Technology and relevance
Decide what deserves your learning time.
New does not mean useful. Score one technology against the work and life you actually have, then learn the smallest useful part—or let it pass.
Run the relevance filter
Score the evidence you have—not the excitement surrounding it.
01
It solves a problem I have now.
There is a specific friction point, not just curiosity.
02
It can give time back soon.
The benefit is practical enough to show up within weeks.
03
The useful idea will outlast the hype.
The skill transfers even if this specific product changes.
04
I will use it in the next 30 days.
There is a real situation where it can earn its place.
