In that vein, I guess I should do a retrospective: Last year I said. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=18766071 I am in the middle of a technology pivot - moving away from the on-prem/Microsoft stack to AWS development/Devops/networking and the $cool_kids JavaScript full stack along with Python. Also adding on Docker/Kubernetes and ElasticSearch. Finall…

#93In 2020 I'd like to complete the goal I've set for myself for the last 8 years or so, complete and release a small game by myself as a side/hobby project. This has never been a skill challenge, I'm a professional game developer and I've shipped multiple games, both on small indie teams and large AAA teams in that time period. It's a challenge of motivation and time management. It's important that I do everything myself for personal reasons.

#95Spend less time on HN, Lobste.rs and various subreddits. Focus on improving as developer. Maybe learn Python and learn some red hat skills. I should write more as well.

#97* Start (and finish) another hobby game dev / app dev * Finish cutting my ties with Google services * Finalize my solar offgrid system with a tiny bit of home automation * Focus more (professionally) instead of spreading myself thing over so many areas and interests (so hard to do...) * Read/study the Bhagavad Gita
Is there a mapping system close to being as reliable as Google Maps?
Open Street Map is getting there: https://openstreetmap.org

There's a correct form for pull-ups??

There is. If you watch someone without an enforced form do them, their body will tend to flail all over the place, especially as they struggle. Not only is that going to be less effective at generating the desired results over time, it can be physically dangerous.

It doesn’t fit my mental model. MVC type frameworks do. The first front end framework I used was Angular. I immediately “got it”.
But, unlike the back end, making a good, consistent, usable website especially as part of a team is much harder than backend work.
On the backend, a RESTful API has simple well known semantics. It also either processes the request correctly or it doesn’t. There is no nuance. The same is true for ETL type jobs.
