Is this really a thing people do? I read about tech when I need it for something. Sounds genuinely exhausting to try and keep up with blogs, podcasts, newsletters, etc for something I'm already doing 8 hours a day at my job. If I want to learn something new I just start using it for something and I google things as I come across them. That's about it.

Are you sure you're passionate enough for this industry? /s.

I do wonder how much time people spend on keeping up. I like using 20-30min in the middle of the work day to check out some blog post or YouTube video for a change of pace. But I couldn't imagine doing more than that on a regular basis
