We are reading blogs less often [1], and most of us here are in fields that are rapidly changing. What works for you in keeping up to date?<p>The answer for me has been learning a little bit from hacker news, a little bit from coworkers, a little bit from meetups, and a few good aggregations of the best posts in marketing, entrepreneurship, js, etc. But, it feels like there has to be better ways to do it.<p>I am curious to hear good ideas.<p>[1] - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13966190
By "field" I assume some area in IT.<p>My primary source of breaking news is Hacker News. The links provide me with a good general overview of what is happening overall in IT.<p>In my specific niche (MBSE/PLE/GenProg/IoT/CPS) I visit <a href="http://modeling-languages.com" rel="nofollow">http://modeling-languages.com</a> for field specific general (isn't that an oxymoron?) news. Other than that I read IEEE and ACM journals and papers published by practitioners whom I follow. I also read the blogs of a small number of people who have genuine knowledge to share.<p>As far as programming languages and frameworks go, I only deep dive on an as needed basis (which is rarely). There is way too much conflicting information, especially in the area of JS frameworks.<p>IMHO many programmers are caught up in the jack of all frameworks / languages / tools drama. We are paid to deliver dependable solutions to real problems on time and on budget. The many distractions only reduce our effectiveness.
