I'm retired (yeeted out of the workforce due to Long Covid, and the brain fog)
I'm about to pull the trigger on TinyTapeout, and possibly the Zero to Asic course, so I can get a BitGrid chip running, and characterized. It's either scalable to Petaflops, or not... and I need to know.
This will require learning VLSI design, how to write testing routines, and then there's all of the software required to actually make it useful.
I'm also looking to get a decent 3d printer, and some machine tools so I can make machine shop parts with my own machine shop. ;-)
I especially want to be able to make cutters and hob/shape gears, like I used to for work.
Oh, and continue on with Kicad 8.0 so I can build a PCB for a 16+ channel SDR receiver to do passive radar.

I'm planning to learn how to find time to learn anything at all.Just normal work and family stuff consumes 100% of my energies, whenever it's 9pm and I have time to actually try to learn anything or do anything productive, I'm usually so tired that I can't do anything that engages my brain.

I'm just going to keep improving my Django (Python), Express JS (Javascript) and Svelte skills.
I'm going heavy on trying to improve my freelancing career next year, maybe land a steady remote gig.
I might try to pick up Dot Net Core sometime later in the year.

I _really_ don't want to and have been dragging my feet, but I think I'll finally research AI-based development tools. If they truly are sticking around, I'd rather not be a luddite, but I'm still not so sure.
