What do you wish you had time to learn?

There are only so many hours in the day — which tools and/or disciplines in software development do you wish you could make time for?

If you know C++ you can learn easily, when I started learning UE4
Cpp seemed extremely difficult to me but after learning cpp and other gamedev principles it was easy to pick up!

Always, every time I play an awesome game I wish I had something to do with creating it.

Definitely. It’s one of my favorite game engines in the market. Really hope to get some time one day to learn game development too.

Me, too! I tried to install it on Raspberry Pi Desktop OS, but it gave me a fsync support error

I would like to learn the following things:

  • To be more human
  • To not judge based on nationality, skin color, years of experience, etc.
  • To learn more about the users of the products I'm working on

Hi @coderzordar
Thank you for pointing that out.

But I did notice that, I always read the posts before commenting.

And I wrote that comment to point out that as a technical person, I should also focus on other areas, and not just learn 84358 libraries and frameworks.

Yup, I understand.

Computer Vision, Machine Learning, AI in general

A lot of things, so I build a roadmap for technologies that I want to learn:

The rules are only learn what I will use to not forget and what I can't learn now I will learn in the next year.

  1. Electron [ ✓ ]
  2. Angular
  3. Typescript [ ✓]
  4. Deno [ ✓ ]
  5. Design systems in depth
  6. Canvas e WebGL
  7. Unreal Engine (C++)
  8. Machine Learn and IA

Sometimes I reorganize some items and add new ones, based in my daily needs and the market.

Angular is so amazing. The most modern of the bigger frameworks. Working with observables and typescript is just amazing.

Ngrx/store is imho by far the best state management library. Typed, observable based.

I'd love to really take the time learn web design instead of just stumbling around.

I would like to learn more JS

Hey, maybe I can help you there.

I've been working with Software Development and Javascript / Typescript for some time now, and last year my manager introduced me to Functional Programming (FP). I liked it very much, and it completely changed the way I wrote code.

Maybe it can be interesting to you too.

These are some resources I found:

Italian! I speak French and never use it and I'd like to add another language to my arsenal that I'd get little practical use out of in Portland, Oregon 😆 I signed up for Rosetta Stone this week so hopefully I'll at least get a few basic phrases and words under my belt — it's such a beautiful sounding language.

Try out lyricstraining.com/
You will hear music videos in italian, along with 80% of the lyrics.
You task is to find the 20% remaining lyrics.
Best way to learn the language by hearing it :)

  • TypeScript but on backend side.
  • Backend development
  • More things to do beside being a frontend dev. I would like to learn about game development too so I can choose what I want to do for my career.

Typescript in backend is so nice to work with, compare do JS.
I feel it especially shines in the backend.

I'm a TS backend developer

  1. Docker configuration, in depth.
  2. Command line tools like grep as well as bash scripting and advanced terminal usage
  3. Regex syntax in-depth
  4. Fundamentals of computer networking and firewall configuration
  5. Javascript ArrayBuffers

Oh where do I start. I mostly want to focus on backend related technologies and concepts without completely ignoring the frontend aspect.

I'd say networking (DNS, TCP/IP, how router/switches work, wireshark), AWS services & how they work in coherence, Threejs, how to create elegant UI/UX without riding the frontend train to an endless destination are some of things on my learning goals list.

Meditation. I know it's not software development related, but it helps you a lot. But wishing alone is not enough. I would change the question to:

What activities/things you'd sacrifice in order to make time for the things you wish to learn?

Solo projects and actually creating something to be proud of

I'm stuck in some sort of predicament. I want to learn everything because I want to be fully prepared when I start interning at big tech companies and I'm trying to currently do so but it is very overwhelming.

I wish I could learn and remember (I always learn kind of enough, and then forget everything):

  • CSS properly
  • infrastructure monitoring
  • marketing metrics and user behaviour tracking

SolidJS. I heard Ryan Carniato discussing Solid on a podcast a month or two ago and it sounds really cool. I enjoy working with RxJS and have really started to embrace FRP. Would love to learn Solid due to its approach to reactivity.

I would like to learn (beyond the basics) and apply (ideally in a paid job/gig) FP (Functional Programming)!
