Biggest secret to success here: Change "or" to "and".

Your goal should always be to learn as many different approaches as possible, and never to think about what is the "best" approach.

The whole idea of "best approach" is a non-thing. If something works, it's just as good as (and no better than) anything else that works.
The goal is to have as many somethings that work as you possibly can.

I've no clue what "IOT" means.

But, yes.
