    My current skillset of Scala + Spark is pretty in demand.

    I will probably learn ZIO in my spare time and brush up on my Cats so that I am prepared for interviews.

    Personally I am learning bass guitar and am looking to restart dinghy sailing.

    I've got some certs which need to be renewed every 2 or 3 years. One way to renew them is to do a higher certification, so I'm planning to do CompTIA CASP+. That will renew all the lower certs (A+, Network+, Security+, PenTest+, CySA+). Arguably they're not much use to me at this point, but I'm not quite ready to let them expire.

    It's weird first time in a long time I dont have anything specific that I want to learn. Even last year I had audiobooks on all kinds of subjects and it was interesting but nothing stuck.

    I'm a bit jaded about new tech.

    I will watch this thread for something I can pinch.

    NLyUK had a few, my understanding is the cream helps.

    ah but it won't be inside IR35

    Not so much learning rather than pushing my handman boundaries but I'll be having a go at about 70 sq m of decking over two levels including puting a staircase and ballustrade in. Kinda of learning on the job.

    Nothing professionaly. Got my ITIL 4 Managing Professional so that will probably do me until I retire now.

    Got to re-start golf lessons again this year.

    I've always got some project on the go and love learning something new but can't think of anything else at the moment.

    load of Data stuff and Azure+AWS. As I advise various people on using these a few certs might help.
