Keep up to date?
You surely know that it’s important to keep up to date as a developer. Most programmers enjoy learning, so it’s fun rather than an annoying demand! But how do you sort through all the new things? How do you know what to keep track of?
You don’t need to stay up to date with the lastest technologies, but it’s good if you know something about the most trending ones in the past years. Here are some fun, easy ways to know what’s popular:
Github’s Trending page
Visit the trending page to quickly check out popular repos, which can contain everything from cool software, research, to guides.
StackOverflow’s Top Questions
We all know that SO most likely has the answer to the problem you’re having. But it also has a lot of insight to what’s trending right now — check out the top questions!
Reddit’s related subreddits
Well, yes! I’ve mentioned Reddit before when it came to coding communities for women. There are a lot of awesome subreddits where people discuss trending languages, frameworks, software and so on. You can find a subreddit that fits exactly what you’re after.
r/programming might be the most generic of them, but you can find a subreddit for any language you like. Other related subreddits I subscribe to are r/cscareerquestions, r/webdesign, r/technology, and r/javascript. Plus, you can alternate with other fun subreddits!
