I've managed it by cultivating my soft skills just as much, if not more so, than my technical skills. (Authority-building, public speaking, communication, networking, community involvement, and mentoring have done more for my career than clever bits of code!)

I am also deeply curious about how things work and I like to experiment!

I am on many mailing lists for UX/Design/Development/DevOPs/Project Management and just skimming article titles is usually enough to tell me if something is starting to trend.

I look for projects at work that will force me to try new things out!
