The newsletters are really great. What I do since years is watching twitter and follow them. What I also enjoy is reading dev.to posts. But of course there are is also a lot "bullshit" outside and I can imagine that espacially as beginner it's not easy to see which of all the new (or old) things is worthy to have a look.

First, it's never wrong to look into things and building your own opinion, no matter which level.
Second, find people you can talk openly about your opinion without getting blamed but learn why they disagree with your oppinion. That could be in your company and or team, a mentor or a community.
Third, as for it like you are doing here, this is also a really great way.

And last but not least, I always enjoyed (and still do) attending meetups and conferences. I got a lot of new input and had the oppurtunity to discuss things after or in between the talks.

Those are great tips, thanks a lot! I really like the idea of taking something I learned / read to discuss with somebody to get different perspectives :)
