Things I want to learn
I'm not a Vim enthusiast but would like to learn how to use it better, there is a cool resource for practicing it here: https://vim-racer.com/. I want to also get better with Typescript, and statically typed languages in general. Go looks interesting, I'd like to learn that at some point. And Rust. And C++. There are so many things I want to learn. I need to learn some things better for developing for the web. Such as data storage; learning different types of databases and when to use which type. I also need to learn design patterns for the backend. And of course keep improving my code quality on the frontend.
I intend to create a list of cool learning resources that I have collected, and would like to reference in the future. I'll eventually re-write this blog post, but I just want to put up some content for now.
I also need to update my LinkedIn profile picture, and eventually my resume with this portfolio site.
I should add some of the interesting things I've worked on to this site. It's kind of a mishmash of things, but I should have enough of a jumping off point for some projects to at least create a blog post.
Some things I've worked on:
- League of Legends match history lookup tool
- Dynamic animations in HTML Canvas. Not sure how to present this one. My original intent was to create a falling sand game, but it turned into a fireworks display.
- Godot Rythym game. Doesn't have to be a long post, but I should talk about what I contributed, and anything I learned.
- I have a WebGL repo that I might be able to turn into a blog post.
- Maybe write about hardware stuff? MiSter / Flipper Zero / Arduino etc.
Talk about work challenges?
- Summarize our cost-saving practices with AWS
- Optimizing Wordpress sites for SEO and performance
- Maybe I can write about using AWS transcribe? I already wrote a bunch of words about it for Peter
- Moving our employee time tracker to a new app
Learn new things and blog about them to reinforce learning:
- Typescript
- DSA learnings with Advent of Code / LeetCode
- Javascript JIT Compiler inner workings
- React inner workings
