Knowing which projects/languages/frameworks to invest time into and which to skip (even if they produce useful subprojects) is a superpower these days.

It's not that difficult. Choose boring over trendy. Simple over complex. Stability and quality over speed and quantity.

There is a lot of software that fits and optimizes for the former. Just be smart and selective about your choices, and avoid compromising.

It's not that simple actually -- this kind of thinking might leave you working on mainframes in 2000 (or even now) which is obviously a mistake.

It requires a certain taste. There's a skill involved.

This is a very "draw the rest of the owl" kind of statement

Well, sure, but those weren't instructions. Just general guidelines to counter the claim that choosing safe technology requires superpowers. It is much simpler than that.
