I’m struggling to keep up with all the cool happenings in tech. I don’t think I’m alone.
I am asking different people on different platforms for tips and I’m trying to compile them into a blog, for myself and for my fellow devs.
Shoot me your best tips. I will try to compile responses from different platforms into a blog &lt;3 If you want credits to socials, etc, leave that here, too!

Hi, Trunk makes developer tools to solve problems developers hate.

But we also love sharing about what we learn along the way as we speak to engineering leaders!

Keeping up with constant innovations in tech can be challenging. The post requests tips from different platforms to compile them into a blog, aiming to help fellow developers stay updated.

How do you stay relevant with all the constant new things?

I’ve been in this racket for 30+ years and I’ve seen web development go from it’s infancy (think SlipKnot and Navigator) to where it is today and yeah, it’s always been a struggle. Once you get out of trying to keep up you end up using what works for a few years so you can just “make stuff”. Then inevitably you’ll get antsy and want to learn all the latest and greatest. It comes in waves. Such is life as a developer.

Instead of learning new things every month, I prefer to adapt to my company needs and sometimes learn a new fancy thing that I need for my work

I believe, We don’t have learn everything that is new out there, I basically look at the outline of everything, if i find it interesting, i add it to my notion.
after that when I try to build something new, at least i would have a idea that some tool or some library, framework exists that can help me build it. this helped me keep up since i started.
I hope this helps you as well.
Thanks!

The day has not enough hours to stay up to date with every bit of new technology I’m afraid.
I decided to look more into Vue because it fits for my company but am currently stuck doing plain old JS because it shows results faster. My hope is that one day I can redo all for Vue :)

Use what works while it works, then if you need something else something more than checks the new stuff, unless it’s a version limitation or it’s something to do with the team you’re working with its never a good idea to switch frameworks and libraries carelessly
