Starting Something New and Hopefully Learning a Lot

Greg Tonn | Dec 12, 2025 min read

I have been thinking a lot lately about how fast everything in tech moves. Blink twice and suddenly there are ten new tools, five new buzzwords, and at least one person telling you that AI is about to replace everything.

Since I am between roles right now, I decided to do something productive with the rarest resource I have: time. I am beginning a new learning journey. Nothing too rigid. Nothing with a complicated spreadsheet. And definitely nothing with a formal title like “Upskilling Initiative Twenty Twenty Five.”

This is simply me jumping into the areas I want to get better at. Some of it will focus on AI. Some of it will focus on product thinking. Some of it will take me back to technical fundamentals that I have not visited in a while but probably should have. If a topic helps me grow as a technical product leader or simply makes me say “Oh, so that is how that works,” then I am interested.

As I complete different courses or reach small milestones, I will post short updates here. These will not be long essays or attempts at thought leadership. They will be simple and honest notes so I can look back later and see the path I followed.

So here we go. New things to learn, new skills to practice, and probably an even greater appreciation for coffee. If you are following along, I am glad you are here.
