Ok, so how does one actively develop the ability to always choose the right tool for the task? The closest thing I've found is browsing HN and clicking on titles that reference technologies I've heard about in passing, but it hardly seems like the most efficient way.

I think if you're genuinely interested and also pursue projects outside of work as a hobby then you're always searching for how to solve problems you're having outside of work and try a range of things. You go back to work on Monday or the next morning with battle tested experience using new things

It's hard to say. Lately I've been getting into the principles of GNU and FLOSS. Simply browsing the massive amount of open source out there has been important for my growth.
