+1 - I find that this is a great way to learn new things. I personally felt like I was falling behind on modern java (generally I only do golang + typescript at work) so I started building a website with some simple examples/tutorials with small commentary partly to give me an excuse to write something using the new toys, and partly as a quick reference for myself. I was inspired by the gobyexample.com site. If anyone has any comments on what I've done so far, I'd be keen to hear your thoughts: https://byexample.xyz/ https://byexample.xyz/ One thing that bothers me about this "learn it yourself then tell others" appriach is I am concerned that I might be missing best-practice and the general zeitgeist on what is "the way it is done". E.g. years ago gradle was the "way it was done" in Java for config management, but what is it now? I've got no idea. How do other people handle this? Apart from wildly searching around, how do you keep abreast of current trends and best-practice for development if you're not living and breathing it in the day job/open source?
