Happy New Year HN! What are your plans for the new year?

#1
Happy New Year HN

First: Thanks for all great submissions and for all high quality and interesting comments from all you users here on HN.

Second: Do you have any plans for the new year, new skills to learn, excited over any new project, looking forward to something, should you do anything different this year, etc?

Personally I never had any "new year promises", neither this year, but I have at least a "goal/plan" this year, to do something different; Consume less, create/learn more. It is so easy just surf the web consuming stuff because you are bored, that in the end gives you nothing/little in the end. This year I will try to use more of my time to try to learn stuff that interest me or can be useful. I probably will fail miserably, but at least its a plan :) And now I have said it, on the internet, so best I stick to it :)

Once again Happy New Year

My plan is keep learning too. I used the holiday days to work on my 3D renderer and brushing up on 3D tech. I just figured out an O(N) way of applying the shadow-map in post-processing. Now I am implementing Screen Space Reflections, and the next step is "Geometry Images" (similar to Nanite).

Happy New Year!

I do not do "resolutions", but my plan is as always to keep learning and growing as a developer.

Also to do even more writing! Including my fiction, which has been picking up steam.

Like you, I hope to consume less next year. Or rather, consume less things and more experiences.

Im a year into my ADHD diagnosis and have been finding treatment, techniques and accommodations that work for me.

My aim this coming year is to work smarter, not harder. In fact, I want to spend less time on the computer, and more time with my horses - while still maintaining the same or higher level of productivity.

It would be nice to finally unleash my (10+ year and counting...) pet project on the world - but that still requires a transition from vapour to code ;)
