Ask HN: Best way to avoid media and tech news and staying relevant? Reflecting on a vacation right now and wondering best ways to avoid mainstream tech news/social media and still stay relevant. Moreso interested in people who have these ideologies, but still succeed in staying competitive and knowledgeable in new trends/science. Competitive being raw knowledge in necessary topics in the field and not competitive in the sense that you grinded leetcode for a job. Social media wise, I’m referring to avoiding news sites focused on technology/things that require my attention on a screen. Overall goal: reduce screen time. And no, I don’t have a smartphone. |
