As a developer, staying up to date with the latest trends, tools, and techniques is crucial to remain competitive. And yet it feels like every week brings new frontend frameworks, AWS services, and AI tools.

The development industry moves very fast. How can we stay afloat?

I’m not complaining, though, it means there are always new ideas and concepts to discover, and I love learning. But it can be challenging to keep up with the latest changes. It’s a question I ask when interviewing someone for a job.

I will share my process so you can use anything you find helpful.

Over time, I’ve built up a learning funnel, a process for ingesting and digesting new ideas. This funnel has three phases:
- The exploring phase, where I find new ideas and concepts
- The tasting phase, where I decide which ideas I want to dive into
- The mastery phase, where I dive into specific ideas

Allow me to explain.
