For a while now, having focused more on work and personal life, spending time learning new languages was put on the back-burner for me. It's easy to change your priorities and push back pursuing the curiosity you may have in learning new languages or technologies.
I've recently had a change in location and it's given me the opportunity I needed to hone in and focus on learning a few technologies that I've wanted to for a while now.
This time has reminded me that exploring new technologies is an integral part of my growth as a software developer. Once again, after spending time delving deep in to a technology I don't use so frequently is when I notice my overall confidence as a developer rise.
Learning should be fun, and building small projects to address gaps in your workflow or anything you see a need for is all part of it.
My most recent project has been a small CLI built in rust to make my interactions with Todoist easier, what have you built recently?
