As an engineer that has been a 90% manager for the past five years, I just got utterly bored with the "steamroller".
This so called steamroller is IMHO just mostly riding around in circles, and when you've been in the business long enough you start recognizing the repetitive scenery.
Staying in front of the steamroller is neither a goal nor a means to an end. It's a distraction. You're better off getting out of its path and observing, and pick up only the stuff you really need. Be it for the job your doing or to keep up your market value.
But for either of those you only need one out of a dozen new shiny toys every once in a while, not all of them.
