Tech Curiosity: Learn, Grow, Repeat

Staying Updated on Tech: My Weekly Tools

I often get asked how to stay updated on major tech updates. The simple answer is you can’t. It’s not possible to stay updated on all areas all the time. You need to focus on areas that interest you the most and use some effective tools.

Tools

I use the following tools every week:

  • Feedly: RSS feeds to get updates on different technologies.
    • I use this to filter out the interesting updates and the updates I want to keep reading more about.
    • Every day I start with scrolling through the updates and marking the ones I need to read with read later and removing everything else.
    • One time each week I sit down and scroll through all of the marked with read later.
  • Microsoft To Do: Create lists of tasks to remember and ideas for future blogs.
    • I use this to keep track over what I need to use more on. Maybe they can solve a given problem I’m facing for a given problem. Or it could be just a fun new thing.
  • Miro: Mindmap structure to get an overview of the relationships between technologies and to clear my mind.
    • I use this to store blogs, tips and tricks and everything else that is not under the learn.microsoft domain.

For Microsoft technologies, I use specific RSS feeds. You can also add Git repositories to the feed to get updates from those as well. These are my go-to feed right now.
