The host suggests splitting news into headlines and deep dives. Headlines offer a quick sense of what has been released or is happening, while deep dives need dedicated reading time.
How to make use of resources for developers
A Callstack host discusses how developers find and organize information sources, alongside an unnamed co-host.
The host checks headline notifications two or three times a day. This helps maintain general awareness without requiring a detailed read of every update.
The co-host estimates receiving about 10 notifications a day. The count includes their Discord, where developers share short pieces of information and headlines.
Takeaways
- Separate quick updates from material that deserves focused reading.
- Checking headlines a few times daily can help maintain broad awareness.
- Include team chat in the information sources you review.
- Track notification volume across sources to understand what is competing for attention.
