i find tech hobbies fun because so may of the hard skills are transferable so i'm never starting from scratch, aka the hardest parts of a new hobby.

however, this is the trap i always fall into - i have these vague targets like "learn vue" and spend the whole weekend trying to figure out how to install node on a windows machine and run a basic test

100% agree, but think how long it would take you to install node without all your previous experience!!

Personally I have a list of things to learn that could easily take several lifetimes.
