Some options I was thinking about include:
- learning a new language (Rust or Elixir)
- a new technology (block chain or Docker)
- a new framework (Akka/the actor model)
- contribute to an open source project
- practice data structures and algorithms (leet code)
Currently, I am working at an industrial company managing a team of developers. Most people around me are not passionate about software engineering and I rarely have intellectually stimulating conversations about technology. I don't want to spend the rest of my life working on boring projects and tell myself that it is okay because it pays the bills. I enviously read blog posts from companies like Netflix or find myself looking up api design tips from Stripe.Any advice?
