That's all great advice. What I find though is I don't do it enough for it not to change under me. Example:

1. Did a project on digital ocean, just ubuntu and node 2. Year later, Did a project using meteor, spent way too much time trying to get it all install with Vagrant (so all info from 1 was not useful) 3. Year later, Changed meteor setup to use docker ... so had to learn docker (so all info from 2 was not useful) 4. 2 Years later, Tried to do something with AWS lambda (so all info from 3 was not useful) 5. 1 Year later, Tried something with Apollo (so info from 4 was not useful)

And to be honest, none of the projects' various needs are all that different. I feel like one "good" solution could have, should have, should now exist ... but I haven't found it.

I guess I kind of feel like people who learned Rails back in the day found it met all their needs and they were able to do 50 projects on it. What is that thing today that if I learn today won't be out of date in 1-2yrs?

Just stop hopping. Anything youvet tried would be fine to stick with.

Unless it's something bleeding edge or a a high churn JS stack, almost nothing should be out of date in just 1-2 years.
