tophernashon Ask HN: How much time do you spend on HN everyday ?

> Resources for learning and for my job in general, for my own products or for my day job.

I agree with you on this. However, when I need resources to learn about a topic, I have found it more effective to just go to the HN Algolia search [1], and look for the most voted links for that topic.

For example, if I want resources on React, I would search "react" filtered by "past year" on Algolia [2]

I find this approach more effective because I dont have to be constantly following all the stories on HN, and keep bookmarking the resources I find useful.

Yes, I find actual (TV) news to be a waste of time. It wasn't always like this. I used to follow news related to politics etc daily, until I realised I was spending too much energy and time on it, and over a long period it wasn't helping me.
