I dunno, I think part of the trick is not learning every single new technology that comes your way. So much of tech these days is just fashion, and you can safely ignore most stuff until there’s a deafening drumbeat bashing down your door. And even then, you should ask if the drumbeat really suits your use cases or if everyone’s in such a fervor over it because it’s fashionable and they’re using it for things it’s not suited for.
Don’t give into the FOMO. Use your judgment. And don’t worry about Podman if what you’re doing now is working!
