- setting up a minimal static site on AWS S3 with Bootstrap
- setting up a minimal serverless ecommerce back end in Go with AWS Lambda, Stripe, Easypost, and Parcel2Go
- video editing with Blender (for a presentation, about a week)
- 3d modeling with Blender (for a book cover, about a month)
Blender would have been impossible for me to learn by any other means than watching video tutorials with Blender open in another window and trying out every little thing as it's demonstrated. Go and AWS required taking baby steps for months.
