Chemistry. I was never really interested in it, but recently discovered that it's one of the best (and enjoyable) ways to learn more about the workings of the physical world, purely for curiosity's sake. Doing the MIT 5.111 course on OCW and the MIT 3.091 course on EdX.

Also re-learning modern JavaScript, and TypeScript too - I've been using JavaScript professionally since 2003, but always begrudgingly. And spending some time picking up Flutter (and Dart). We're doing more and more work on the front-end and on our mobile app, and as a technical founder it's good to have some idea of what's going on even if you're not writing the code yourself.

Learning to be a better manager too, one mistake at a time, as I've been doing for the past few years.

5.111 and 3.091 together? Seems like a lot! Hope you enjoy the Sadoway videos - he’s the best.

I was actually just over halfway through 3.091, and it was going quite well, but I had a slight uneasy feeling about knowledge gaps (all my chemistry knowledge is from high school). That's when I started 5.111, and it's really helping to solidify things.

I didn't know about Sadoway, the EdX course has a different instructor. But I checked some of his videos on OCW now, and I really like his enthusiasm!
