I want to be more productive and what I learner in this week was:
Reducers hooks and js
But what I learner from this week is:
Every second is important,if you waste one another will waste you and youwill regret and waste 3rd and simultaneously you will waste full week!

Ps this is me who wasted last 8 days in youtube and catchy things!
But now I have to be productive!

This is me too: did Java and Perl at Uni, moved on to PHP, C, Haskell and finally settled on JavaScript as the language I really use. I also started learning R recently 😆

I just have to know how stuff works, and I don’t really care if I use it. To be fair though, I think learning C and Haskell made me better at writing in my main language.

Unlike you I’ve never been paid, though, this is all a hobby.

I am still learning Clojure using Clojure for the Brave and True. I found it very interesting since it is one of the functional language that my previous company wants to implement. Another thing is I am doing some exercise using Hackerrank to prepare for interview process.

I started diving into MDX in gatsby. It has came a long ways since I last tried and everything seems to work well out of the box, except images, they took some work to route through gatsby. I think I have it working right by using a custom component.

It is so cool that I can have complex d3 visualizations largely with just a component downloaded from npm.

This week I was working on Streamsets, a dataOps platform, it was required for my work, SO it was kind of learning on the go. Was a good experience, got to know about Elastic search and Kafka as well.

I'm re-learning how to use Ableton Live and have been recording some super weird music. It's been loads of fun.

😀 I totally understand. I definitely think it's going to be a gradual process. It's so vast... there's just so much you can do with it!

I finished a short course to learn Affinity Designer (after several years of PS) and it was quite nice, far from being confident yet but i think it is a good start.

Does Unity3D count? Recently inspired by a video about an indie game developer's journey and decided the only way to learn fast is just do it 🤗

I learned how to lazy load and preload in Angular. I also learned how to preload a component without a route. I shaved off 2 seconds from my initial load time in dev. Very Happy!

I learned that you can use the “defs” tag in SVG to define a shape and then “use” to use it multiple times elsewhere and alter its style in each instance.

Wow! Sounds like there’s not much you haven’t dabbled. Have you learned any Haskell? I find it fascinating, FP makes a lot more sense to me now.

Yeah that sounds like an interesting series of posts - I would read that 😀
