I always see this on job applications for IT and such. I’m wondering, how do you stay up to date?

Just start saying something very wrong about it on the internet. Nerds will correct you.

Bruh, I don’t really.

I learn what I need for whatever project I’m working on and if someone mentions some new tool as part of potential future project, I google that.

I’m probably a bad example tho. I have no hustle.

I think there’s more people like this than people want to admit. There’s certain things where I have a personal interest and I’ll stay more up to date about etc. but the rest? I’m doing the same as you.

Same here, I have a few projects that I follow more actively. The rest I research on the fly when needed.

I don’t. I’m not in a decision making position where having that knowledge would be beneficial. I’m here for a paycheck. Period.
