None of them are new but still trendy

#24Terraform, being Cloud-agnostic, low level programming
Cloud agnostic? Not really. All the resources are cloud specific. You can't configure anything of any complexity without knowing details about your specific provider. Low level? It's about as far from "low level" as you can get. I would barely call it a programming language. That being said, I do think it is a worthwhile skill to learn.
I interpreted those things being listed as individual items in a list, not one continuous thing, so I assume the "low level programming" is it's own task.
Also, I think a certain level of cloud agnosticism is possible. A lot of things like App Engine-esque services and FaaS can be boiled down to a core subset that can be agnostic. Once you get into managed queues and such, then you start losing some agnosticism for sure.

#25I have a bunch of things.
Systems Thinking. It helps you understand how components interact to form a system, and how to change it. Books:
- The Goal: https://www.amazon.com/Goal-Process-Ongoing-Improvement/dp/0...
- Thinking in Systems: https://www.amazon.com/Thinking-Systems-Donella-H-Meadows/dp...
Pertinent for 2023, learn about costs. If you're an engineer, understand how much the services you're responsible for are costing. How can you reduce that cost? Can you optimize costs enough to save your monthly salary?

#26I think this is just the wrong way to go about learning things. There are 3 things to learn at any given time: 1. That which never changes i.e. humans, yourself and others 2. What you need to know to succeed right now i.e. deeper in your current tools and systems, or those you'll need to use next month 3. Whatever intrigues you. Maybe this is what you're asking: what's new to be intrigued by? To the latter, I would s…
What's the best way to learn machine learning without a real GPU or a budget for cloud time? There's lots of demos and stuff that can run on low end CPUs, but is that close enough in terms of skill to what you'd actually be doing on the job to be worth it?

Google colab?

#28If you are doing mainstream frontend work and haven't yet moved to TypeScript, that would be my first recommendation.
I'm just getting into frontend. Any recommended typescript courses/material?

Don’t forget punch cards.
