I come away with the same. I switched my learning style from read and understand to code and understand. Here is how I typically learn something new now.
I go to stack overflow and look for poor questions in the new technology then I figure out how to answer them. This gives me an unending stream of micro-tasks to accomplish and introduces pain points in new tech.
Now, I read tech stuff only at the conceptual/architectural level. Stuff not typically asked by noobs.
