I see Aaron's point, but I wonder that if I take his advice and stop keeping myself informed, I will miss something, and not even know about it.
For example, I read about opinionated software years ago, and when I started my startup, I chose to take that approach. If I'd missed that, and my app turns out to not be great for any single use-case, and fails, how would I know that that happened because I didn't read enough to make a better decision?
These things seep into your way of thinking, and it's hard to know what thought or article had what result.
Having said that, I do think I overdose on news, but it's hard to know what's the right balance.
- PSeitz 9y agoSome article about development a approach is not news. Also, hackernews is largely composed of non-news information, else I wouldn't be here ;)
- kartickv 9y agoThat was just an example. Instead of picking nits, focus on the real point being made, namely that if you miss some insight or perspective that later causes you to make bad decisions later on, you won't know that if you'd up more, you wouldn't be in the situation you're in.
