2023 to 2024
- Published on
2023 Wrap up
- Graduated from grad university and got a Masters’ degree
- Started a new job in Tokyo based company and relocated to Tokyo
- Embraced the challenge of learning new technologies for me (Scala, Kotlin, GraphQL, Android, AWS, etc.)
- Worked on OSS (especially Biome)
- Discovered a passion for Futsal (beginner level)
- Caught up on Premier League highlights (but not fullgames 😂)
- ChatGPT and GitHub Copilot have changed our development
Problems
- Stagnant: I didn't get a sense of much growth.
- Weak sense of ownership (especially on work): I've been too focused on the code base that I'm responsible for.
- Irregular hours: Sleep and meal times are quite irregular.
- Point of effort: I want to make sure that I'm focusing my efforts on the right things.
Theme for 2024
- Tidy lifestyle: especially sleep and meal!
- Expertise: Align with interests
- English: Take some exams, IELTS?
- Revenue: exploring new revenue streams
Do in 2024 (Numerical targets are not decided yet)
- Gain weight and sleep regularly (wrote at 4:10 AM)
- Spread my favorite things
- Launch a personal project with full ownership
- Streamline my life to eliminate unnecessary burdens
- Use English more (I'm struggling to keep up with the OSS discord channel😅)
- Think about my career
- Participate in Futsal more
In 2023, the results were unsatisfactory in many respects. I am not performing well at work. But there is no particular excuse. I found my own issues to fix.
I couldn't contribute much to Biome's feature implementation this year. I need to build up my fundamentals.
Time will only solve so much. Not be pessimistic, be insensitive to failure, and avoid getting bogged down by trivialities.
I caught a cold during the holiday season and had no updates. As it heals, it will gradually become active. Thank you for all your help in 2023.
