- Introduce at least another 30,000 developers to StdLib [1] - 1,000lbs combined 1RM on Squat, Bench, Deadlift - Run two half-marathons - Spend more time with my girlfriend and my dog Hold me to it, HackerNews. [1] https://stdlib.com/

Just signed up for StdLib! Looks cool, so it's basically a streamlined version of AWS Lambda + API Gateway?

Thanks! Yep, you can think of us like that. Our first prototype (launched in August 2016) was really just a shim layer on Lambda, but we’ve grown to much more in a really short amount of time. Developer response has been nothing short of amazing. Tens of thousands of developers and growing rapidly.

Our core thesis is we aim to turn remote function calls into first-class citizens of your development environment, with all that entails. We’ll have some very exciting news in the New Year about this, so definitely stay tuned!

Most likely: raise money, start a business and spend the rest of the year dealing with GERD. I don't know how people do such things so nonchalantly, so oblivious to the near-certainty of total failure. I never feel ready enough for anything.

Any tips for dealing with GERD? My doctor hasn't really helped at all.

I may have been using poetic license. For me it's usually responded to medication.

Health

- Undo minor case of hip impingement ( sitting down too much! )

- Connect with more people / foster better relationships. Who knew making friends in a city could be so hard?

Programming

- Finish SICP. Made it through four chapters with co-workers, and then everyone dropped off.

- Continue exploring functional programming

- Finish my homegrown Japanese kana / kanji language learning tool

Other:

- Take some of the wisdom from this thread[1], and make myself more "marketable" through blogging, giving talks, etc.

- Pass the JLPT 3 test

I'm trying to take a middle of the road approach to resolutions. They aren't the most important things, because it should go without saying that I should try to do them, regardless of what year it is, but they aren't frivolous either. Mine are:

    1. Go for a 10 mile run each month
    2. Study Spanish for at least 10 hours each month  
    3. Run my first triathlon
I posted them to my blog several days ago: https://benatkin.com/2017/12/28/2018-new-years-resolutions/
