I think coders should learn to shoot and develop film, and ideally learn to wet print. not that it's something that you'll need at your day job, but it's just such a fun hobby for an engineering type person. The basic process is simple and yet infinitely modifiable, and there's numerous deep rabbit holes you can go down once you master the basics. It's definitely one of those "a moment to learn, a lifetime to master" type hobbies. And it's really enjoyable for someone who stares at a screen all day to work with your hands and do something that is completely analog.
I've been meaning to put together a personal blog with Jekyll to learn the tool, maybe that would be an interesting subject for some posts.
