Two years ago I felt just like you. It is overwhelming, there is a lot of people talking about the best approach, the best technology .... Don´t hear that, I am sure there is nice stuff around there, but what makes the difference is you. Thinking about programs is a nice advice, try to see things from different points of view. A year ago I did some hacking in Common Lisp and Haskell, that certainly changed my way of thinking. Now I am more interested in making things simple, I am hacking in Go now and trying out Plan 9, is really rewarding reading real world programs that are easy to understand.
