Similar experience here, except that I would clarify that while they  
learn them on their job, any engineer worth their weight in salt I've  
ever come across does so by googling and when they google, they're  
coming across some of the more well known blogs and on-line resources  
like ALA. So, while they might not "follow" one of these, they are at  
least engaging with them.

In theory, theory and practice are the same.
In practice, they are not.
