Sorry for your loss. I learned Rust back in 2020, but decided to take a 2 year break from the industry, so haven’t used it yet.
What's your break if one may ask?

4.7% cut, or did you loose the chance of a 4.7% increase? Didn't know companies can cut your salary for a bad perf review.
It's an effective cut. 1.5% increase minus 6.2% inflation.
Sorry to hear about that.
I doubt it makes you feel any better, but isn't that an effective cut of 4.4%?
As a starting point, original pay was 100% of original pay. A year later, the same amount in real terms is, in nominal terms, 106.2% of the original amount (at 6.2% interest). But, if you're being paid 101.5% of the original amount, in nominal terms, then in real terms you're being paid (101.5/106.2) = 0.9557... of the original amount. Which is about a 4.4% cut in real terms.

#13Learned perl back in 2008 and I've written a gazillion lines of it ever since. This year was finally the year where it landed me my (I think!) dream job. The new work has forced me to learn:
- SQL and database integration
- Template Toolkit
- How to debug a very large and complicated web product; the dev/test/debug cycle is not like anything I've ever experienced before, writing libraries and cli applications.
- Javascript
- The concept of async programming
- That I can function together with other people at a physical workplace and that I might be better at what I do than what I've thought for these past four months since I started.

#14I rewrote and updated my personal project too!
Apart from that, I:
Worked out consistently
Moved out alone
Got a job in a promising industry (though I still don't like working)
Still doing quite bad in some areas I want to improve, like investing, be more organised, playing music, etc.
Got my friend's kindle but didn't read even a fraction of what I've read in 2020
Overall, I'm progressing, albeit slowly.
