Rust, CUDA and JAX - I'm guessing one or more of these will be in increasing demand with a relatively high barrier of entry compared to other software tech
How are you learning these, What approach are you taking?

#102I'm learning PCB design, and embedded Rust to go along with it. Building a flight computer for an RC plane (I've been working on laying out and programming the computer for almost a year now -- haven't even started the airframe.) It's been very fun. I keep saying that I'm going to do a blog series about it, once I get it in an MVP stage. The state of embedded Rust is also progressing very quickly underneath me, which…
Sick! I’m an embedded software engineer, but I want to grow my PCB design skills as well. Can you suggest some resources on this topic that you’re finding most valuable?

#104Earlier quoted context omitted.
Might to share your resource? I would like to learn Swift as well. But I am lost in which roadmap to learn.
Happy too! So my main resource is Hacking With Swift ( https://www.hackingwithswift.com ), specifically the 100 days of SwiftUI Course. It takes you over Swift and SwiftUI. I've paired this with the official Swift site ( https://www.swift.org ) so I can dig into the language more, and Apple Documentation where appropriate to get used to using the tools. In terms of finding it, it was a bit of a shot in the dark. I di…
Thanks for sharing these resources,
Would love to hear your perspective on why pick Swift over React Native as its cross platform too

#105Jetpack Compose and SwiftUI, I hope this will be the last evolution of mobile development, I’m getting older (over 14 years mobile development experience) and my brain is tired with all the mobile development shiftings.

#106Working my way up to calculus for the first time in my life, at nearly 40 years old. I've always hated math :( When I was a kid, they always told me math would be super useful, especially if I liked computers. Well, 20+ years of a dev career later, I still have never used anything more than basic arithmetic and rudimentary algebra (to calculate responsive component sizes). But with web dev jobs going the way of the h…

I have found learning JAX to be rewarding. Of course this depends on the work you do - but if you want to occasionally code out problems which involve some kind of an optimization of a differentiable quantity (without you having to work out complex gradients), JAX is perfect.

#109Serious leetcoding, I don't have a CS background, after two years of being DevOps while also interested in SWE, I find sitting down and actually grinding through leetcode is a good brain exercise, I also find it to be a marathon instead of a short sprint, feeling like I'm smarter everyday!

#110romhacking. I want to make patches to old console games from the late 80s and early 90s. I've never really worked with binary data before, so I have had to learn some new things.
