Re:Tell HN: Don't learn more than you need to know by mbrock on Friday February 17, 2017 @05:43AM (#13667338)
I think the "follow your bliss" meme is a decent heuristic.

So much of the weird useless stuff I spent lonely hours learning about have actually turned out to be crucial to my career opportunities and generally made me a better engineer.

I think taking some hours to just do cool weird crazy stuff will probably always pay off in one way or another, maybe ten years down the line even.
