I see Aaron's point, but I wonder that if I take his advice and stop keeping myself informed, I will miss something, and not even know about it.

For example, I read about opinionated software years ago, and when I started my startup, I chose to take that approach. If I'd missed that, and my app turns out to not be great for any single use-case, and fails, how would I know that that happened because I didn't read enough to make a better decision?

These things seep into your way of thinking, and it's hard to know what thought or article had what result.

Having said that, I do think I overdose on news, but it's hard to know what's the right balance.
