Not everything in the real world needs a syllabus.
Throughout our life, we have been conditioned to find a syllabus and stick to it. Going out of the track is either discouraged or while doing it our peers and parents always said is a waste of time and effort. This continues even when you are working.
Whenever I talk about the internals of databases, or interesting algorithms, or an obscure domain from computer science, I always get the comment “Shut up! we don’t need this at work.”
We tend to focus on things we need at work or to crack some interviews and nothing beyond that. Even a slight detour seems like a waste of time. Unfortunately, this mindset is killing your curiosity and making you boring.
Be curious, tinker with things, and give yourself a chance to stumble upon the unexpected. The domain of computer science is vast and beautiful; there are so many things you will genuinely fall in love with.
Do not limit yourself to someone else’s curation; explore what excites you.
