Ask HN: What technologies did you learn in 2018?

What technologies have you invested time in learning that you are going to keep using/experimenting/learning about in the next year? I'm a professional Android engineer, and as for me: I learned Kotlin and use it at work every day, and so far I like it a lot. I also learned a little bit of iOS development with Swift. I also experimented with Flutter developing non-trivial "Hello world" apps, and I feel that it reduces a lot of friction that a lot of native mobile developers encounter. What's your favorite tech in 2018? Comments URL: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=18745763 Points: 11 # Comments: 6 from Hacker News: Front Page http://bit.ly/2QQY4NP via

I've lost my skills in programming?

I am getting really angry. What is happening to me? I am literally getting worst at programming. When I was a beginner I could solve any problem those "coding challenge" websites, but now I simply can't. I haven't stopped coding since then, I was doing it every single day and I still got worse. Maybe I am just overcomplicating things when programming. I feel like the thousands of free (not good quality) tutorials that I watched online are now showing their flaws. I just have piles of trash "programming knowledge" in my head that I don't know how to clean or replace. How do I relearn programming? Relearn it in a way that I don't have to watch or read tutorials with the stuff I already know. Cuz I seriously can't watch another video of someone explaining what a variable or function is. Do I just have to go heads first and it will all just "fit in place"? I will finally become a good and confident programmer one day? I wanted to share...
