Re: Ask HN: 2020 goals and resolutions?
#2For 2019, I had set myself several objectives but the one I have respected the most is to read 1 book/month (book or audiobook).
For 2020, I will:
- Read 1.5 books a month.
- Launch my startup while being employed (I am currently working on the product).
- Enjoy life and the people around me.
- Less time on social network.
- Travel to at least 3 new countries.
- Develop my photography (and videography) skill.
- Try to write more than I read on HN.
- Propose to the most wonderful woman.
- Save money, as always.

#3In this past decade, I went from being a naive 7 year old who had a vague idea of programming to a developer who is investing his time in his startup, i love doing it so im gonna keep doing it and as for resolutions, i guess i might try to get in good shape ( probably on the list of 1 in 3 people ), try out for Y Combinator Startup School Summer, keep building the services I'm building except get some more traction. :) that's probably it. simple.
oh and also, get away from MacOS. I'm starting to like Windows again after that 1909 update, i just realized after years of using MacOS that Windows had simply more flexibility than MacOS while at the same time not being unsupportive of game development as Linux ( Ik i can do game development on linux with extra effort but i don't wanna do that :) ).

I don't like to reveal my projects until I finish the MVP.
It will be a product launched first in Europe which will compete with the American equivalent.
I say no more, but I see far!
I hope to share it soon on Show HN.

Hah I feel you on the smoking, with vape pens it's almost too easy to take a quick hit here and there. Cutting back weed is probably number 1 on my resolutions for next year.

#9I am in my 50s and want to start working on Raspberry Pi and Arduino fun projects. But this time do it with the mindset I had when I started out. Take the sample code and modify it without thinking too much about consequences. In many ways experience is good but I feel I have become too “professional” and worry too much about things that aren’t really important in small projects. In short, become a reckless programmer.
Also: don’t learn tech for tech’s sake but do what needs to be done to fulfill a certain task. Projects are:
- a better trail camera trigger that ignores grass and leaves
- a dog door that opens for my dog but only for her
