1) How do I become aware of new tech
2) How do I learn to use new tech
For the first, I use this site, daily.dev/, and when I'm in stackoverflow and someone links to a repo or mentions a technology I haven't heard of I check out their website (or repo).
Second, I do a combination of things but it always ends with me doing a small project with that tech. It's the only way I can get it into my bones.
I think you're asking two different questions.

I often find myself using daily.dev too much, I don't know if that's a good thing 😄😄
