To me, angular is the only framework to use where i write anything more then a todo-app. I really like the MVC architecture!

[@31redorange08]

@@vincent-thomas What? How often do you write to-do apps? Why? There are already enough out there.

Happy to see you're planning to keep Elixir in your toolbelt for where it makes sense - as you said, for anything concurrent, real-time and stateful, its a killer technology. Learning Terraform probably useful if you're on AWS - I learned it but still find myself using PaaS everywhere so barely use it day-to-day.

[@mateja176]

I dove into hardware in 2022. with ESP8266 microcontrollers. I recommend building a light switch using a relay and combining it with a button to toggle the light.

Awesome list, Ben. But just so you're aware, SvelteKit is a jealous lover, and she won't be ignored.

My 2022 goals 1- Microservices with docker and kubernetes 2- animations and responsive design 3- progressive web apps 4- react native (not interested but may be at some point I will try it) 5- figma 6- deep dive into devops really interested about this that's my plan wishe me guys to learn all of this and yeah that's it hope you all doing great in this year ❤❤

[@dougb70]

microservices is the best driver for docker and kubernetes I think. The whole CI/CD pipeline, maybe with a test first discipline on the backend.

[@fritz6600]

I'm trying to do 3, 4 and 5 too :)

[@zaidikmc]

Wish you success!

[@arnaudtisset]

I started to learn rust but loose focus in the middle of last year. I start using k8 professionally in 2019 and now I want to upgrade having a cluster running on my homelab .

[@viviannacowan7386]

Yooooo I just found your channel and so far so good. You got a cool list for 2022! I recently became really interested in AR/VR tech and started learning unity but gonna try unreal engine sometime this year. You should add unreal to your list once the others are done in no time. :)

[@evolopterus]

How do you find the time and mental space to get deep into several types of technologies? I use 2 different programming languages at work, and the constant context-switching is not pleasant.

[@Voidstroyer]

In one of the elixir conferences, Jose Valim (creator of Elixir) was asked if they plan to add strong typing and his answer was neither a straight yes nor a straight no. So maybe someday in the future they will add support for it.

[@jakebaker5944]

As someone who's pretty consistently learning and applying new technologies, I am curious: how do you typically organize your day/week when learning new things? Are you an all in and only focus on one thing at a time type person, or are you learning multiple new things each day?

[@AyorindeAdesugba]

Hi. Nice Video. What editor were you using to display the list?

[@sidheshwartiwari9834]

Ben, a big fan here. I have a question, how do you learn stuff, by videos or straight from documentation or whatever mysterious way you use, lol?

[@dougdemars8812]

Terraform is awesome! You can extend it past using it for cloud provider IasC to some great effect.

[@funnyhjk]

I've also been looking into learning animations this year. You looking into any animation libraries? GSAP seems pretty cool.

[@herman751]

How do you deal with a11y for components like modal, menu etc. when not using Chakra? Some headless library?

[@sjorsborsoborsobors]

Love Rust not just for the performance/safety, but the enums/match patterns just make you organize your code and your mind so much better

[@barterjke]

that's true. I didn't like rust in general, it's too stict and different from other languages, but match/enum are just perfect and every language should have the same.

[@chivchav]

So i have a question, i started studying programming quite recently so there's a lot that i don't know. First of all, al those tecnologies and programming language, it's possible to integrate them? I understand that database management (like PostgreSQL) is integratable by nature. But there's some that i quite don't get it how can be done, maybe for the lack of knowledge, like it's possible to integra C#, with Java and React? I don't know. There's a way to go to do this or it's really specific for each language?

[@sarahxrose]

Excited for your new game dev stuff 👏

[@TCW_Consulting]

Good to see what other experienced developers are focused on for the coming year 🙌🏽

[@notDacian]

For me i am stepping in the devops territory, i''ve been building and growing my homelab setup for the last 5 years now and i feel like there is a big shift in the industry as a whole towards a cloud/hybrid approach. This year i want to get my CKAD ad GCP certifications that are some of the new things i want to learn and somewhat master.

[@ocx888]

Damn Ben you looking a lot less stressed these days! Happy for you, keep up the good work

[@matteoveraldi.musica]

Cool Roadmap! I am currently learning Remix and so far I am personally enjoying it more than NextJS from a DX point of view (I have nothing against Next, it's a great framework, It's just that I like Remix more). I'm willing to learn animations too in order to boost my UX, but I am still In the "research" phase.

[@schusterianlogic]

Ayyyy, K8s and Terraform is the stuff! There is a huge need for this in our world today, so it's worth learning. And as someone who's learning animation and 3D, it's a super fun field!

[@MrFaraz337]

Great video mate, I will love to know about your approach to learn new stuff

[@dheerajs2838]

how do you use tailwindcss in react-native .. the current libraries like tailwind-rn dont support hover and min-screen kind of use cases..

[@mukulr5171]

May you achieve all what you have planned 🌟

[@MattLaine]

If you don't like dynamically typed languages but enjoyed the Elixir experience, you might enjoy F#. From my experience using it at work, F# definitely gets the job done and the type system keeps you from all kinds of errors as they're caught at compile time.

[@alexbcberio]

Are your notes in markdown or is that other format? What's the name of the app you are using? I'm searching an app to take notes in markdown, I'm currently using Clementine. I like these videos a lot, short and clear.

[@alexis3170]

gRPC was my 2021 discovery, super recommended as either a solution for asynchronous communication or a downright REST killer / replacement. gRPC web is also a thing which means it's also compatible with javascript in the browser

[@muhammademirsyah8037]

In 2021 i've been learning frontend with react and next js also building some project with firebase as my backend. In 2022 i have a plan to go into web3 and ai/ml/data science. Does anyone have tips for me like which route i choose. Btw nice video Ben, cant wait for your another video

Why not flutter? I‘m considering learning it for my next project for web and mobile apps.

[@dotinceptions7614]

Hi Ben, long time watcher, enjoying your journey, been looking for some inspiration on starting my own channel and this video has a spark for me, particularly the section on wanting to learn DevOps, and the section on kubernetes/terraform. i feel i could make a similarly styled tutorial series learning devops with terraform and a different orchestrator called nomad, also feeling nomad would be better suited for you, not just in the nomad lifestyle since but it is actually easier and much nicer to work with. Again, never posted anything here, but if maybe that might interest you, I might be able to push forward with it, thanks -Adam

What resources are you using to learn Animations?

[@riddixdan5572]

I tried out remix in a really small proof of concept and I love it. Imho, DX is much better than nextjs. It's supper easy to persist state between views and the use of route components is also awesome. If I ever need SSR I will prob go for remix instead of nextjs. Then again, if I need SSG, then I'm still gonna have to use nextjs. But I'm not too sure how often I will need SSG.

[@boblitex]

totally love remix run too. best developer experience by a mile. vite was also a relevation

[@luigisacco2187]

vanilla js all the way

[@willa5706]

I bet you guys like angular too 🤦🏼‍♂️ nextjs is great for both SSR and SSG and has the better developer experience hands down by a mile..

[@chrishorlebein]

Highly suggest doing something like VHDL for hardware, basically simulates hardware using code. Shortcuts the cost/wait for actual components.

[@PASTRAMIKick]

Maybe he isn't very experienced with Hardware stuff, VHDL is pretty cool I've used it with FPGAs but I would think that Ben here will probably thinks of hardware in the firmware sense and not much in a hardware logic programming. I love both forms of programming hardware, but firmware (or embedded software) is much more flexible than programming the actual logic in the hardware through something like VHDL even though you can get extremely good performance with that.

[@christopherweeks89]

I don’t think vhdl is the type of hardware Ben is talking about

[@hbfard]

Hey Ben, would it be possible to use Remix in React-Native?

[@hectorg362]

I need to start getting motivated to learn new things like Ben.

[@priultimus]

Solid video, I don't yet _understand_ smart contracts (because I kinda don't think blockchain is the future), but I think every other technology you're tryna learn I have also shown an interest in which is pretty neat

[@brainshack9077]

What do you use in the backend ?

[@xXIBON3ZIXx]

I agree with animations. They can make a site feel so much professional.

[@pieterdubuisson1412]

Sounds like some cool tech. Used Elixir a view years ago and truly enjoyed it as well. Any comment on Solidjs? Would love to hear your take on it.

[@Ayomikun]

Hey Ben, super random but I'm curious. Do you follow the naming conventions when using PostgreSQL? Lower snake case really isn't cutting it for me 😅

[@dealloc]

Follow whatever convention that the database you're using uses. Use whatever conventions for your own databases. It's more important to be consistent than to following the "right" convention. The reason why lowercase snake case is common in Postgres is because it's less ambigious than camel case and pascal case. It also makes it easier to read for longer sequences of text, which can often happen if you name your tables and columns with longhand words, rather than shortened, not to mention indexes and foreign keys that adds to that as well.

[@jacobschwartz890]

Love these videos each year

[@alanhabib1942]

Hi! Do you have any good resources for the stuff you are learning?

[@Hariskhanmhariskhan]

Please share the journey, sources, tips n tricks for animations, that's also in my 2022 learning list.

[@DavidHooperg]

Try Nx instead of turbo repo. I have a large project using Nx and it scales unbelievably well whilst maintaining a good developer experience. Having used Terraform for years I’ve also upgraded to Pulumi as it fits nicely with the typescript monorepo experience whilst being far easier to code and test too.

[@suhafadira9484]

Do you happened to know how to integrate rn-expo with nx? Because there's this github repo about it, but it doesn't work

[@gh0stcloud499]

what do you think about using Nx vs Turborepo?

[@CyberQuickYT]

Try out windi, it's a drop in replacement of tailwind which added JIT before it was copied into tailwind itself, as well as some useful helpers (better dark theme support, better and more readable grouping, better svelte integration)

[@jarhands509]

I can't recommend Rust enough. I moved to a crypto company and had to learn Rust. It's so brilliant, the ownership model is just such an amazing way of getting C performance (almost) without a GC - it's a learning curve for sure but so cool to see innovations at this low level. Also solidity isn't all bad!

[@andrw_]

What crypto company? Cool to hear of another industry adopting Rust!

[@kodee2]

Any top resource youve used to help learn rust that you can recc? Hope to make a similar move myself.

How about instead of Unity you go straight for Bevy and there you have your Rust Use Case. Just something I´ve been considering to get into this year.

[@joeysantoro4835]

As a noob who is learning about smart contracts, I am curious if you have any knowledge of Cardano's smart contracts? They have a haskell-like functional programming language underlying things. Idk. I like hearing your opinions on things.

[@jordanasghar6419]

Your list for 2022 says you're really interested in general tech which is really cool! It's quite varied though so might be best to nail one paradigm (blockchain, gamedev or devops)

You should try making an application with Javalin as an api framework (super similar to express).
