What I want to learn: thinking in array languages. Have been curious about them for a while, but over the holidays went through Advent of Code in K/Q. Without much prior knowledge, some of my solutions ended up distinctly awkward, but for some problems the solutions just fell out. Reasonably sure that the fraction of "just falls out" will increase substantially given a some more practice...

What I probably should learn: how to sell. Increasingly clear that it's something I'm going to need in the next few years whichever path I take. Something that leaves me pretty nervous though (and some of the obvious ways to try stuff out, like monetising side projects, may be awkward in the context of $day_job).

Something seems off about this guy!

Why ?

Look at his submissions. He posts almost every day and their always one of about 3 major news outlets. I'd have to say I agree that that seems unrealistic for someone with honest motives.

I still don't understand what's so unrealistic about it.

Every now and then there is this dude who posts regularly about algorithm trading. I guess I'll try that in 2018. I don't expect to make profit right away, not even till 2020.

His account? I'm interesting in algo trading cryptos.

How exactly are you going to find an algorithm?

More Elixir. I would love to be writing Elixir full time by end of 2018.

Xamarin Forms, seems about time to start working on mobile. I have an idea and started the elixir server part of it but will start on the Xamarin Forms part soon.

React or Angular. I started learning Angular 1.x right before 2 came out but never actually kept up with it or moved to 2.

Embedded development. I have an R Pi that I want to use Nerves with but I would also like to get non embedded linux hardware too
