Working at a still-feels-new-to-me job as Graphics Director for Opinion at The New York Times. Our small team publishes arguments and guest essays supported by visual evidence, like these: - https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2022/10/29/opinion/scien... - https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2022/09/08/opinion/urban... - https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2022/07/20/opinion/ancie... But I'm a believer in asking for…

This is great work. I'm impressed.

Just in case you happen to know the answer: How does taking tree samples (as in your third link) not harm the tree? It seems inevitable that it would do so, at least intuitively.

If the number of sign ups keeps increasing in current rate, I will most likely continue with enhancing the “Do I need an Umbrella Today?” app: https://umbrellatoday.app/#!/today-in/

Perhaps find a way to commercialize it as there are quite a lot of users that have signed up already, any ideas?

Happy to also get your feedback on the most wanted features.

I'm building software to provide better human-in-the-loop recommendations for media, content, and retail companies. I'm also keeping up with developments in machine learning, large language models, and image generation.

Found a job and moved to Spain, so will spend 2023 practicing Spanish and some Catalan.

Job is related to climate change, so will continue mixing workflow managers, climate experiments, HPC, Python, data analytics.

Other than that continue moderating r/functionalprogramming and r/fuzzylogic on reddit, add more Brazilian Portuguese expressions to https://speaklikeabrazilian.com, and try to release Apache Commons Imaging 1.0, and a new version of some old Jenkins plug-ins I haven't managed to find someone to adopt them.

If I find time will probably try to learn some more Prolog and reasoners with SPARQL/RDF/Jena...

Finally setup my homeassistant amber I bought to finally get a decent setup where I can manage all my home automation devices in a single place with my wife and kids using it (needs to work and be simple).

Then: Getting back into more technical stuff by refreshing python and SQl skills - mostly to have more fun in my next job (trying to move from a pure Product/Program mngr role into a technical PM role/Sol Architect).

I want to pivot my career to teaching. I get a lot of satisfaction (and ego boost!) from it but language was a big obstacle for me. I was very aware of my English and it was very frustrating how I can express myself in native language but I mumble in English. Last year I switched my surroundings from native speakers to people like me - with English as second language. It was a great confidence boost. I was mentoring people in DataViz Society and have two lectures about visualization. Now I’m preparing my course about creating data visualization on the web. I can do this on my company time so I’m free from thinking about profits and marketing - I want to run this for free. In the end it is aimed mostly at folks who change careers to programming without company learning budgets.

I will continue working on the first app I ever have launched.

It's a private local server monitoring that runs on your computer and alarm you if something is going wrong. No data ever leaves your computer except just to check your license! No complexity just showing the vital info and thats it.
