To be honest, the only skills I'm interested in are the ones in demand today, and looking into the next 5-10 years.

Seen on the web: “What we need is a developer who can write.”
Let’s take it as a given that as technical writers, we can write.
To increase our value, we need to learn addition skills, such as a programming language.
What other skills do you all have?
I’ll go first. I know basic HTML. I have edited code. I can edit sound and image files. A few other things, too.
Cordially,
