I think keeping up on things like this is the bare minimum expectation I would have of any lead developer worth his or her salt, because keeping up on things like this is a fundamental aspect of knowing the technological ecosystem in which you claim to have the skills and knowledge in which to make decisions about things like which technical ecosystem your entire team should be using.

Whether or not most engineers _do_ keep up on things like this, is a different question. But that's why there's a large range in salaries for similar positions across our industry.

Keeping up on actual code related concerns yeah. Internet drama, no.
