How do you "discover" and assess new patterns in such libraries like React? Throughout the past few years, we've seen cool and exciting new patterns like Higher Order Components, render props, function-as-children, and now render callback functions; despite having access to the relatively simple and straightforward React API docs, I still find it interesting and sometimes mind-blowing that devs find these new ways of composing components. How do you personally discover potential new patterns? How do you assess patterns that other people have found/created for viability?
