Ask HN: Where you apply new technologies after leaning them?

What you do after learning a new technology. As we all have limited time. I have learnt new technologies but where to apply them. On my job I am limited to my technology.

I lost motivation to learn new technologies as I can not able to apply them anywhere in my work.

I am wondering what is your motivation to learn new frameworks and technologies. What you do after learning it.

Explanation: I am iOS developer and learned android, react, angular in past but can not apply any of them in real world. What benefit you get by learning them.



As you said, "As we all have limited time". Mostly I'm not learning anything without having a use case for it in mind before learning it.

When I have an idea to build something, I start researching which technologies exist to solve my problem. I spend quite a long time comparing different solutions. I check the activity for a technology on GitHub, StackOverflow, etc. I also check the google trends.

Once decided I which technology I want to use I start learning it and write a blog post about it at the same time.

Mostly I then don't complete my original idea but I end up with a dozens new ideas.
