#63I've been wondering if adopting an agile framework for my life will help me accomplish my goals. So I have. Starting a little early for resolutions but in this sprint I hope to establish stronger flossing and exercise habits. Larger goals for the year include establishing a stronger financial base, learning to weld (and perhaps getting my certification), to cook the vast majority of my meals at home, and finally brea…
Getting Things Done (GTD) is probably the most popular personal agile-like process. I highly recommend reading the first book. It was a real eye opener for me, but beware: it is easy for people to get too focused on optimizing their "perfect" GTD system and tools. Just keep it simple. :)

#64Earlier quoted context omitted.
I'd be interested to hear more about what's going on that has led to these life changes?
The short version is that loneliness is crippling me, whereas in the past I used to find comfort in technology. For whatever reason this comfort is gone, and I long for human contact. However by nature I am very introverted. Not socially anxious, just I get extremely tired around people, and in general can't hold a conversation about any non-tech topic. Also I am a cold/distant person with relative little emotions, n…
Speaking from personal experience, pushing yourself to socialize more is the way to go. At least it worked wonders from me. In my mid-twenties I changed from being a hermit to going out several times a week and continuously meeting a lot of new people. Now in my thirties I'm married with kids, and I don't think I would've ended up where I am now had it not been for me taking a much more proactive stance to my own personal development. It sounds cliche, but in my experience it is never too late to change your own psychology and behaviors, but it does take a lot of work and persistence.

#65I have sold two companies and am not super rich, but now I can live off my investments. I have dedicated my life to helping the world with OSS. This year I intend on releasing a project which will enable academics to have access to labeled image datasets more than 100x
How did you decide to work on image datasets? What else did you consider?

#66I moved to San Francisco from France recently.
So I have a very long list of things to do :
- finish furnish my apartment so it starts feeling like home.
- start working out
- take cooking lessons
- volunteering : the gap between the poor and rich leaves a sour taste when you arrive here. It also exists in my origin country (France) but it is just so much worse here.
- I am not really looking forward to anything tech related. Tech work starts looking like more of the same to be honest.

#671. 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.
Note that you don’t need to run a cluster anymore with AWS Fargate
I know! However, the price is a little out of my budget.
