Skill you want to learn in 2022?

Starting already this month:

Digital painting and drawing. I'm already not bad at that, but I want my skills to be semi-professional at least. I have a very vivid imagination, and I want to be able to recreate the concept I see in my mind.

Computer science foundation. Right now, I'm at the stage that I know enough to explain them in layman terms, but not enough to actually participate in an active discussion or projects that rely heavily on academic knowledge. Stuff like compilers and interpreters, computer architecture, database systems, distributed systems, and OS architecture.

Another item on my list is reflecting more about philosophical and psychological matters (I read more fiction books than non-fiction ones at a ratio of 25:1, the only bibliography I've read was about George Lucas).

I want to get some basic woodworking skills together. I can do simple household plumbing, and I'm not going anywhere near electricity or roofing, but I would love to be able to patch up that corner of the staircase and have it look decent.

How to use a Mac. I've always been on Windows and used Linux VMs or WSL. I think it's time to take the plunge though.

Just got one recently. The difference between keyboard combos for text selection and navigation, and window switching is annoying so far, but I'm confident I'll get used to it.

Classical double bass bowing technique - I'm looking to diversify from primarily being a jazz player due to scarcity of jazz gigs. I'm now actively looking for a teacher to start asap in the New Year.

I want to learn some low-level programming and hardware stuff, however, I don't really know where to start - sure, I can order an arduino with some kit, but I don't know much about electrical engineering, so making anything harder when a blinking LED will be a challenge.

I’ll finally dig into frontend frameworks like react. I’m an old fart (started as C dev) and assumed it was a fad years ago - even thought no JavaScript was the future.

Silly me, now I have to play catch-up.

Manually spin up and manage a meaningful local Spark cluster (say at least 1 master node with 8+GB and 3 worker nodes with 4+GB memory), build a data pipeline (don't care to much about the analytic things, I'm more into parsing tons of JSONs) and parse a meaningful number of JSONs (say 10GB at least) and optimize the parsing algorithm.

Low level computing. I purchased a kit and prepared to register a coursera embedded class. I also want to learn Windows system programming especially those related to Malware analysis (How does VM in OS work? What does a process contain? How to hijack a process? How to write shellcodes? These kinds of things).

Cold war politics and military-intelligence history. I got attracted to this field years ago after watching Godfather 3 and searched a bit about the background story. I know a few buzzwords but don't really have the $$, language capacity and time to drill deeper.

Mainframe. I didn't manage to register the IBM event this year, so it has to wait until 2022.

Sigh, too much to learn and too few time.

VR/AR dev. The idea of creating your own immersive universe sounds fun.

I'm taking classes to be an EMT. I've taken BLS, but twice I've been in situations where I've felt completely helpless while someone is injured, and I want a set of skills where I can do something while waiting for an ambulance to arrive.

Writing. Mainly fiction writing and publish something on wattpad or similar platform.

I want to get better at playing music with other people. I've played a little guitar with friends, and want to be better at accompanying them. Also, I got a harmonica, for times I'm not able to carry a guitar.

My iPad Mini got me to draw again. I want to get good at it. It's a relaxing hobby that forces you to pay attention to your subject.

I want to improve my German. I made a lot of progress in 2020. It emboldened me to be more extroverted, and to try things that were once out of reach due to the language barrier. I'll keep going.

I want to become more handy. I realised now that volunteering for a halfway house might be an excellent way to do it. I don't want to just be good with computers.

> I am looking to learn more about 3d printing and how to create things for my place. I also would like to learn a little about Unity 3d programming.

That made me smile because I got really interested on those a little ago.

Also recently improved my skills on:

- Linux, the command-line and bash

- Decompiling APKs into smali to understand some "unpublished" algos ;)

- Web authentication bypassing by editing/cracking cookies

- Customizing exported SQL code to restructure a database

Next in my list:

- Generating custom G-Code

- Surface-mount devices without heat

- Going deeper into web scraping and automation

- Philosophy of math

Not sure if it counts as a skill but I want to be able to run a half marathon. To word it towards the question, I want to pick up the skill of distance running

How to get a decent rating without burning out, how to make it to the next level, and how to make tons of money.

I’m planning to retire from contracting and looking for a permanent position where I can ideally

- dig into one of the specialisations I’d like to focus on: data processing frameworks, databases, computational geometry,

- keep improving my communication and mentoring skills.

C++. I've dabbled in C and old C++ since I've started programming, but I've never really felt like I learnt the language. I'm thinking of going though Meyers' most recent ed. of Effective Modern C++.

Not a new talent, but one I’d like to expand is painting with watercolor.

I’m considering learning Rust, but that will depend on bandwidth among/relevance to a zillion different side project interests.

1. Digital art. 2. Japanesse language. 3. Some Technical, Management skills. 4. Money making? Yes this one is what I need the most.

I want to learn Kubernetes and get the CKAD certification.

After years of using Marathon my company made the switch to K8s and I’d like to get into it properly.

Going to be brushing up on c++ and game development. 2022 is going to finally be the year in which I seriously make a game.

I want to achieve two things (besides work and fitness): study math fundamentals and get into (computational) neuroscience.

Beekeeping. I'm finally at the place financially where it won't matter if I lose my hives the first winter.

How to get better at technical interviewing, this is a skill that has cost me the most in terms of opportunity cost.

How to design programming languages

I want to move beyond only messing with Docker Compose and learn k8s.

Also want to learn how WASM works.

Being decent at Java, the first programming language i am currently learning :)

I'd like to make my first Morse Code contact on the HF bands.

Elixir/Phoenix
