In programming world, I think you have to taste the topic first before going forward into it. Try to do small projects in each of the topics you mentioned earlier and see how far you can go with it before you get bored or don't feel like doing it.
AI is a huge field and big data is just a small part of it.
Finally, FUCK THOSE STACK OVERFLOW DOWNVOTERS. -
It honestly doesn't matter what buzz wordy cool thing Wired magazine talks about. Find something that interests YOU and work to learn it. Small steps solving small problems yields the biggest rewards. If you try to tackle everything, you'll go nowhere. Make a simple task board and work on learning a thing a week. Stay focused. Remember that almost no one is as good as you think they are. :)

Just pick a language/framework and start working on it. If you have some idea, start making them. There's no way where someone will wave a magic wand and all of your questions will be answered.
Ignore all those buzz wordy things. Focus on just one thing at a time.
Start by doing something in what you already know.
And in the end, don't just learn, make something.
PS: Don't hate stackoverflow. Those guys are strict just to make you understand your own problems logically and in clear and consize form. Try to make a minimal verifiable example of your problem. Read the help section.
Happy Coding! -
Hi all, thanks a lot for responses and support. I am not so used to it. Lol. Thanks a lot again.
As you all pointed out that start learning one thing at a time and make something out of it first. So, I am thinking of starting with basic UI now, many of my projects/ideas are on hold just because I can't build a proper UI. And then I'll move towards other things.
As somewhere they said in Rant, "ROM wasn't built in one day." Thanks again. ** devRant 🙌**

My dog learning nodejs.
**noob alert**
Hi all, I'm new to this community. I found it out couple of days back while downloading some apps on play store. And I don't know how much time have I spent here since then... Damm, I've an interview after 2 days.
My query is, I am stuck/confused. I have so many ToDos. ToDos to learn new things, from UI to other langs to machine learning to database to etc etc. And I keep on postponing it because I can't decide which way to go first. There is so much fuzz about BigData/AI which sounds cool. Sometimes I want to build UI for my imaginary idea, then somebody says a man must learn linux and DB. Top of that I'm preparing for interviews, so I think I should get a job first and then start learning. But when I get a job, I get *busy* with job. It feels like Captain America, all he does is official work. I sometimes feel like trying open source coding, but quit the idea because I get scared or overwhelmed by imagining the big community behind it and I won't be able to make a difference or I might get bashed by others as I get bashed in StackOverFlow :-(
I'm unable to get help from friends/family/colleagues, not because they are bad. It's just they don't get it. People think just because you have a job which pays the bills and save money, everything is fine because there are lots of people who dream to get a job, so be thankful for what you have. I'm thankful... But it's not helping. I really want to do things more than what my job asks me to. The kid inside me is awake since I became adult.
Have you been in this condition or is it just me? Or is it too confusing? Could you please help me out. Thanks a lot. Sorry for serious post. I'm a java programmer by the way.
