Same. Learning swift for one of the app I'll be working on.

Sadly, relearning VB6 because I have to help support a vital legacy application that's been in operation for nearly 20 years. I'll need to understand the app well in order to build a service based replacement.

I am also continuing to learn more about industrial control systems and how IoT fits into this puzzle.

Hopefully you can ask for more $? :)

I'm happy with that part of it. It's not as big of a mess as some other legacy applications I've had to support in the past. There is also a serious commitment to modernizing it here, unlike other places I've worked.

I'm learning Rust. Coming from the Python world, it's a totally different mindset

  • Object-oriented Javascript, hopefully with more leaning towards Typescript as time goes on
    • Avenues towards this would be code puzzles, especially screeps since I just bought a lifetime subscription
  • Jekyll and dev.to have me intrigued about Ruby and Rails though...

Mostly, though, I've been focusing more on documentation. I like the idea of having a completely squared away resume, personal site, blog, resource list, etc. It's not as glamorous as the new tech hotness, but it will hopefully help future me later :)

Learning Spring Boot at my job, personally working on a Laravel Project, since I have a Mac I decided to get into IOS and Mac development so learning Swift also. So many side projects and plans, only the time to do them all ๐Ÿ™‚

In context, Iโ€™d say react, material-ui, and anything in the imposterโ€™s handbook.

Also, Iโ€™ve been reading about how to choose the right tool for the job, e.g., when to use a nosql database, when to scale, etc. I canโ€™t wait to be more hands on in that area.

Honestly, Iโ€™m fascinated by so many things, I donโ€™t know what to grab onto. Iโ€™d like to get back to robotics like I was doing in college. The world may or may not be run by data scientists, so thatโ€™s an area that fascinates me. And who doesnโ€™t want to design tools for AR?

Out of context, Iโ€™m focused on improving my emotional intelligence and mental toughness so that my son will learn them, too. ๐Ÿ’ช๐Ÿป๐Ÿ’ช๐Ÿป

Learning Django framework (my first ever framework) and I'm loving it. I must say I have utmost respect for all the people who put their time into developing such things, made me realize how stupid I actually was/am

Currently a mix between better, more efficient WordPress development, python (to eventually learn django), and trying to generate low effort income streams (blogging, theme development, automated e-commerce).
