Ask HN: How do you stay up to date without information overload?

3•bohdanstefaniuk•6h ago
I'm a backend developer, but I'm interested in a lot of other areas too: frontend, AI, infrastructure, architecture, and system design. I want to keep up with new ideas and advances in all of these.

My problem is that most changelogs and news sources throw too much raw information at me. I spend a lot of effort going through it all just to figure out what actually matters. After a while I get overloaded, and then I give up and unsubscribe from everything.

So now I'm looking for more curated stuff. Maybe a newsletter, or some people who have a good point of view on software engineering and specific technologies. I want to follow people who filter the noise and explain the interesting parts well.

Right now my list is pretty short: - Hacker Newsletter - Platformer - The Pragmatic Engineer

What do you read? What newspapers are you subscribe to?

I don't. Any information that's important will naturally come to me by diffusion via coworkers, HN or similar.

I use this approach with worlds news. I've noticed if I don't read any political news, I will eventually know the most important once which affects me.
