I spent the last 2 weeks memorizing hiragana and katakana. Now I'm dreading the 1.5k core kanji anki deck...

Swift and iOS development! I've been lucky enough to spend a lot of my career being able to get my hands dirty with a bunch of different projects and at a lot of layers of the stack, but I never got deep into app development. Now I'm diving in and scratching that itch! It's also been great because I've been able to start looking beyond that to making things for the entire apple ecosystem. It's also just been so good…

Might to share your resource? I would like to learn Swift as well. But I am lost in which roadmap to learn.

Longtime data engineer - web apps in vanilla HTML/CSS/JS with Node - and some fun with ncurses in C++. Copilot is helping me out a bit but I’m having fun!

Hey, you're like my evil twin! Longtime web dev here who always wanted to learn more data engineering.

HTML/CSS/JS is fun and creative to some degree, but kinda abstract. Data engineers get to work with real-world phenomena! What prompted the interest in web stuff?

Analog synthesis. Using MiRack on my iPad mostly. Yes, that is a digital emulation of analog circuits I know but it is a great learning environment. Trying to get my head around feedback patches and self sustaining/generating patches. Saw a few videos of a guy using a Serge system to explain ideas with Cybernetics and it has really piqued my interest.

I currently own a Lyra 8 synth and it is teaching me… something about FM synthesis and feedback. I also have a Vanilla synth from STG/Musonics on order and hope not be up to speed on the basics before I get it in June. I Will at some point probably get a serge system because it seems the most amenable to analog explorations at their most basic.

Marketing, Sales and SEO for a SaaS of mine. Found out that is what sells your product and not the features of your product.

Book keeping.

Recently officialised my freelancing business into a corporation and it's fascinating learning about all that finance stuff.

I'm hoping to turn all that knowledge around into building tools and utilities for doing all the calculations.
