Dear fellow programmers, how do you manage your professional development in situations when your current work is not too much challenging you to grow?

Any advice, stories, strategies of stable professional growth without just losing yourself in tons of new information that really helped you.

Thanks.

Stop chasing the latest trends, it's pretty simple.

Those ambitions are too much for me. Best in the world? I’m happy if I can do what my clients need, get paid well, and not spend every hour of the day working. I don’t pay attention to most of the hype because most of it is transient and the fads come and go. There’s really not “tons of new information” to keep up with.
