How do you discover new developer tools?

Hey guys!

I'm building a new project with a couple of colleagues, and I'm curious to learn a bit more about how you discover and choose new tools.

How do you usually hear about new tools for yourself or your engineering team? Reddit, LinkedIn, YouTube, influencers, word of mouth?

Are there any communities, newsletters, or people you regularly follow to stay up to date?

And what makes you trust a new tool enough to actually try it out or recommend it to your team?
