In 2018 I hope to master the full planche pushup.

#42* Start contributing to open source projects. This feels quite overdue.
* Try and buy no new books until I read all the unread ones I already have.

#431. Buy land & build a log cabin. I've been planning this for a year now. Finally have some money saved and now looking for land bordering a National Forest in my area.
2. Deploy my SAAS project on AWS. I've spent last few months learning how to script out stacks in AWS and run an ECS cluster. Just need to wrap this up.

#44Move back home from US to India. Build a small ginger beer plant, build a company around a half-ass data product, build a house! There is a never-ending supply of things I'm looking forward to do on any given day :)
Sounds like you're living the life - I would love to build my own house one day

#45I'm enthusiastic about finishing a project I helped start at work, which involves migrating tens of thousands of lines of complex and undocumented VB6 code into a functionally equivalent C# program. I get a kick out of doing things that seem against the odds and others would deem hopeless.

#46Making my consulting company sustainable for the long term. 2017 was about getting up on our feet, 2018 is about figuring out how to keep work coming our way. I'm particularly looking forward to it because it finally feels like I'm doing work I'm uniquely able to do.

#47I consider learning new programming techniques as a normal part of my career so my personal goals are usually more about crafting and non-coding side projects. My main goals for this year are beefing up the skills needed for making cool stuff on my laser cutter, learning to sew and learning welding. My family is also working on building our crafting business, finally putting things online to sell and going to craft fairs.

#48I'm starting a new job. Full-time remote, so I'm very excited (even ordered a Herman Miller, so my back is equally excited)! I'll also be working in Elixir + React, so both two technologies I'm very interested in. I typically assign myself two large projects a year to delve deep into to topics I'm ignorant in, so I'm going to attempt to build two low-level networking services. One is a TOR router and the other is a u…
How did you get your remote job?
Saw their post on weworkremotely or remoteok, applied, and interviewed :)
I have a few non-trivial open source projects (a torrent tracker and a distributed key-value store) and two small side-businesses (one of which is built in Elixir + Phoenix and the other went under a rewrite to that stack). Showing that I can ship products tends to get me in the door, but a combination of luck, personality, and technical know-how moves me forward in the interview process.

#49Trade more [futures], write less code. I've been slowly transitioning out of IT and into a full-time trader. It would be great if 2018 was the year I didn't bill a single hour in the IT world.

#501. Do fun things with my wife and daughter. 2. I switched to from Linux to macOS on the desktop in ~2007. I am now back to Linux on my home machine. I decided to stop complaining about bugs/problems and instead try to report every bug/problem that I encounter, when possible with a minimal test case, and a patch. So far, I have reported a small number of GNOME bugs and I hope to complain less and report/fix more in 20…
Damn, computational linguistics sounds amazing.
