Often I discover a problem in my everyday life. Last time i did not find a tool to rename and transfer files, that fitted my needs (on Windows!!), so i did some research, what language would be the right tool for the job. Thats how i learned golang.
The most important things for me, learning a technology are:
- Having fun, learning it
- Solve a concrete problem in my life
- First success in a short time (<= 1 week)
- It should improve my skills in general
- Best case: It is something i never did before or it improves something, i already did
Currently I'm learning Rust, to improve my copy tool written in golang ;)
