That's an awesome tip. You reminded me of a 4th strategy that is emerging within my realm of strategies. Which is: go to Github.com, search on the topic of interest, sort on most popular projects and check them out.
This helps mainly with finding tools that are "best practices." It's a bit more hairy than the other strategies though and I'd combine this with searching on HN and Google, but I've noticed it works pretty well as a heuristic.
- cocktailpeanuts 10y agoThat's what I used to do, but i realized that github search is terrible for some reason. They don't display all results, so I would think that I've found the most popular library for X, just to find out later that it's not, and there's a completely different one that didn't show up on Github search. That's why I don't trust github search anymore and use the site:github.com approach.
- mettamage 10y agoHmm, using search engine X to search on website Y. That's an interesting tactic to keep in mind.
