Ask HN: Technical and non-technical goals for 2024? Mine is to stop and smell the roses more, survival mode is a real thing since COVID. that's for sure. From a technical standpoint I would like to dip into rust more this year, it appears to be the rockstar language these days. What about yourself? |
Medium risk, medium reward: deep diving further into the languages and paradigms I already use. Kotlin, Java, Android, MVVM, reactive programming, React programming, coroutines, CI/CD. Maybe even a layer down - things like camera, fonts, UI rendering. Not just what it can do but how it does it. Ideally learning enough that doing these things would be second nature. But is it good ROI with the economic situation? There's less need to hire the top 0.1%, I can sit happy at the top 1%.
High risk, high returns: Learn Ren'Py.
Non-technical: move in to a new place. Find a new school that doesn't kill the kids or kill my finances. That should be enough goal for one year.
On a personal level, we'll see what happens. Typical eat better, lose weight, etc.
There are some fascinating aspects that I couldn't have predicted. I expect to have a design for an ASIC in the next open shuttle and play with it for real by the end of the year.
Also less lurking, consuming low quality information and publishing/writing more.
Non-technical goal: stop sucking at everything else.
Really, I just want stay employed. Not really planning any goals besides that.
make more $.
