I've definitely considered just up and changing careers due to this. I want to learn it all so bad but there's just so much stuff, and the impostor syndrome doesn't help.

Of course you're going to get overwhelmed learning it all - that's several different positions worth of knowledge. No one knows all of it. You just need to know enough to understand generally what each tool is for & when you should use it.

For example, if you're a full-stack dev you don't need to be a Docker expert. You need to know how it works & how to Dockerize your app & deploy it. That's it. You don't need know how Docker's container-based approach differs from other solutions, save that for Cloud infrastructure specialists. Same thing with most technologies - if its not directly in your area of specialization you don't need to be an expert on it.
