It depends, but usually, I would look at other technologies if they seem to solve a problem better or are more suited for some requirements than what I would have used.
At the same time, if I want to try new technology to do something (e.g. a mobile app using Flutter or Capacitor+...) then I'll consider them if it would help me grow as a dev and enhance my toolbelt.
How do you go about exploring new technologies?I personally feel super confused when i have to make a decision between using and modifying my current tools to solve a problem, vs reading understanding a then using a totally new tool to solve a problem
( or in other words, i am being too lazy to learn about kotlin coroutines and rx java, when we already have threads and executors, which usually solves all my problems)
