Where do I get my tech news?

As someone passionate about building great products and teams, it is important to keep myself informed about new and important technologies and practices.

The main channels I use are:

• Link aggregators:
  • Hacker News
  • Lobste.rs
• Social networks:
  • X / Twitter (unfortunately not as good as it used to be)
  • Reddit (mostly for topics that I’m already following, not new topics)
  • LinkedIn (but often boring and pretty useless for technology and innovation)
• Tech news:
  • The Verge
  • Wired
  • TechCrunch
  • LWN.net
• Blog posts (and following links from one blog to another!)
• Some newsletters (often hosted on Medium, or Substack, like The Pragmatic Engineer)
• Podcasts
• YouTube
• Google search (searching for a concept or a tech I’ve read about and finding other articles)
• Wikipedia
• Books (more rarely than in the past)
• I don’t use RSS anymore, but perhaps I should
• Meetups and conferences

Anything you would add to that list?
