I agree that when the news is important enough, it will reach you somehow.
I also noticed that when something is in the news, it's actually already "old news" and so the benefit you get from it is very small.
If you follow niche news sites such as HN, it gives you more advantage than any generic news can give you. Because you will know things in your niche long before it reaches mainstream.
- smoe 5y agoAgreed. But even on HN I don't follow the news items that much. I enjoy the more timeless topics much more. But I like the aggregator style because with a quick glance over the title I become aware of things. For example, oh, Python 3.10 is out, cool. I don't really care right now, but it is good to know to check it out in say the next 6 months.
