I'm for myself using numerous blogs or sites like enginered and producthunt... and you ?
Thanks to you for your answers :) seems everybody as his own routing :) will definitely look into your source find which one i like more :)
Hacker News was my go-to place prior to Hashnode. I rather like this Hashnode thing. ;)
Latest and even future news are always coming from people, people who share their knowledge - https://medium.com and people who ask and answers questions - https://quora.com
You can also see many kind of statistics you want on GitHub and StackOverflow.
Twitter is by far the best tool for me. I follow a lot of developers/designers who share what they are excited and inspired by. Then I can just scan through and decide what I want to read more about.
I manage several information flows based on my interests.
This is actually my main source of information. I'm subscribed to over 20 weekly and daily newsletters with topics ranging from Front-End Development to Web Architecture (Frontend BUZZ, JSK Daily, Front End Newsletter, Sitepoint Versioning, The Changelog to name a few). I'm scheduling them at a precise time of the day, so I'm able to easily process everything.
The best way to learn a new technology or language is to build something with it. So, if I find something intriguing during the work week I start playing with it in the weekend. It can be a toy project, it can be a fully-featured project or just a couple of small code samples. For me, writing code is the way to memorise anything new.
This is pretty straightforward - try to share what you have learned and found. Take Hashnode for example - you can easily share various kinds of resourses you think can help the community, you can write articles, where you share your personal knowledge and experience, you can share your opinion about topics and see how they do or do not differ from the others and most importantly , you can help other developers. You will not only rise as a developer, but as a person too.
Following blogs, going to conferences and talking with people is a nice way to improve your knowledge and skills.
Sadly webdev is a topic where even working in it all day will leave you feeling you're wildly behind... there's a million shoots out there, nobody is up to speed on them all.
