How about some specific domain that interests you? Graphics, ML, GIS, data science, devops, firmware, crypto, integrated circuits, whatever?

Or learn more about a specific industry that interests you? Film, games, energy, natural resources, healthcare, accounting, finance, whatever?

Software is your pencil, and you might have great penmanship, but there's still infinite topics to create stories around.

I'm currently interested in roguelike game development, but I probably couldn't justify that as helping my current job.

The book "Hands-on Rust" might be perfect. It sounds like it's about Rust, but it's moreso about how to build a Roguelike using the ECS pattern. https://pragprog.com/titles/hwrust/hands-on-rust/

Ok so maybe books/courses about algorithms you could use for the game?
