Lol I remember early in my career trying to keep up with all of CS before I gave up sometime in the late 90s.

CS in general is moving so fast that it is hard to keep up with what all the sub fields even mean now.

ML has hit a critical juncture and is moving at light speed. I’d be surprised if any mere mortal can keep up with all of ML now.

I understand that. I don't even bother understanding what the latest developments in javascript libraries are or what release we're in with Java. I can barely keep up with changes in Python, ML libraries, and things specific to my work. Since (as I mentioned) I do applied stuff, I have to go between handling large data (dask, BigQuery, etc.) and ML frameworks (sagemaker, vertex ai, etc.) as well as the underlying algorithms. It's too much.
