Beginner's guide to derivations in Scala
If Mirror is too low level, I'd suggest playing with Magnolia https://github.com/softwaremill/magnolia. I haven't found any posts about it, I plan to publish something myself as a follow up to the one above. In the meantime you might want to check out magnolia examples https://github.com/softwaremill/magnolia/tree/scala3/src/examples

Some notes on developing a structured logging API for Scala
The second feature is the auto-derivation for case classes using Magnolia. This saves a bunch of typing for case classes, while fitting neatly into field builders. This is not new if you've used Shapeless, but I found the macro-based approach in Magnolia much easier conceptually. I did find a small bug but it's easy enough to work around.

How to improve scala skills
Using shapeless is completelly optional and has a lot of disadvantages. I'd not even consider it a good learning material for functional programming. Magnolia is a bit more robust and has much better design, debugging and implicits resolution - it will be less pointful than starting with shapeless.
