What was your skill of the year?

As we close out the year and get more reflective, here's a question to ponder:
 
What's the tech skill you found most useful in 2021?
 
We're not talking about the best, the most viable in Web3 or the skill that fascinated you the most, but the one you kept coming back to. What's the one you'd find yourself using despite yourself?
 

Email me your thoughts at baltimore@technical.ly, and we might use your response in a story.
