The pace of technology is extreme and accelerating.
I have never considered myself a coder or developer. I am an applier of technology. Early in life, I explored bleeding-edge technologies as they rolled out. I was curious. I wanted to learn all about these new tools. As I grew in my career, I continued to explore new technologies for client projects. I also reviewed technology for internal process improvement and side projects.
These days, I often feel like I cannot keep up. I still need to know about emerging technologies to help clients and to learn how to teach people. When I see something interesting I still attempt to research it, or at least open it in a new browser tab. It is often overwhelming, hence my 174-tab issue (https://duce.co/cleanup/) from a few days ago. Sites like Product Hunt (https://www.producthunt.com/) help, along with a trusted network of blogs and websites. They help me determine what is vaporware or short-lived and what is useful and likely to stick around. My challenge comes in deciding which technologies to test and which ones to skip.
If I’m lucky, I have a client who has a problem I’m trying to solve and I will explore technologies that might help. Other times, I need to reserve time for research and developing insights. Sometimes, this will get my in trouble. I try to avoid the crazy rabbit trail I may follow when I visit sites like Product Hunt. So many cool ideas surface every day and I can get lost in 50 tabs of new tech to explore. Whoa!
Fortunately, my obsession with new, shiny technologies can be valuable. I become a buffer and curator for clients and colleagues. Earlier today I emailed some friends about two new products (Loom (https://www.loom.com) for video and Anchor (https://anchor.fm) for podcasting) I thought might help them. They are entrepreneurial and want to streamline their existing workflows. In my effort to learn something new each day and to help someone each day, I find harmony in this process.
If you love technology and have the same problem I do, then embrace it and let’s chat. (https://duce.co/contact/) I’d love to compare techniques for filtering and processing. If you love technology and how it can help your project, but you can’t keep up, subscribe (https://duce.co/subscribe/) or contact me (/contact) . If you’re unsure about technology, but know you need it, I can help.
Until then… “Look! Squirrel!”
