#143Lots of things but regarding side projects I built http://mockrest.com which allows people to implement json APIs for testing. It doesn't have much traction but works by itself and I use it for my web development classes..

#145I spent most of the year working my ass off consulting for one of America's most hated companies building an utterly pointless system. My only consolation is knowing that I wasted a ton of their money since there's no chance it will pay any returns.
Lol. I had a good laugh. How do you manage to continue working on something you know is a dead end though? Is the money that good? Would the money go away if you worked on another project at the same firm?
Yes, money. Also, I quit that job.

#147Quit my job (Frontend engineer), moved to the east coast and bought a hotel. I don't think I can go back working for corporation/startup.
My net income reduced (Based on the 2016 P&L) but so far I like it.

#149I started learning Elixir/Pheonix and React for a project in my company. Elixir/ Phoenix didn't take much time but React gave me some hiccups initially but seems good now.
Really loved way functional programming works and also how Elixir handles things . Later I was able to relate Elixir concepts with ES6 features in React. Loved this stack. Hoping to get better in them as the time passes.
Looking forward to contributing to an open source project in these technologies this year.
Any recommendations for Elixir/Phoenix would be highly appreciated to begin with.

#150I launched two projects. 1) http://instant10-k.com/ An efficient way to search 10-k and 10-q filings for publicly listed companies. A Form 10-K is an annual report required by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), that gives a comprehensive summary of a company's financial performance. 10-Q is the quarterly version. If you have ever purchased an individual stock you should read the 10-k and 10-Q reports.…
Interesting, how is instant10-k different from EDGAR Fast Search[0]? [0]: https://www.sec.gov/edgar/searchedgar/companysearch.html
Thank you! Its more efficient. Here is the sec search process
1. Visiting sec.gov
2. Clicking on Company Filings
3. Typing the ticker on Fast Search
4. Visually searching for 10-k's and 10-Q's
5. Opening in another tab.
6. Clicking on it again.
7. Finally clicking on the actual document.
http://instant10-k.com takes you to the actual document instantly.
