Earlier this year I decided to react to the chatbot insanity griping the entire tech industry by studying. I am extremely proud of the work I did in the past few months because I learned a lot while doing it. I'm a better professional than I was six months ago and I'm completely comfortable dealing with complex topics I found daunting only a year ago.
As people around you deliberately deskill themselves, do the opposite. It will pay off, believe me, it always does.
@gabrielesvelto just to be clear, studying what types of things? What’s been valuable?
@trisweb I've studied some APIs and libraries I was not familiar with. I improved my knowledge of certain traditional Unix tools such as sed and bash. I also spent some time digging on some harder aspects of the Rust language I didn't have a good grasp of. I also took the time to automate some things I was used to do by hand so that I'd free more time for reading & understanding in my work vs doing menial things.
