I have a few simple plans: Grow my education business - https://learnetto.com Play music with my kids. Travel and see more of my friends and family. Happy new year, HN!

Thanks! Please do. He is 15-16 months and we are doing these activities: - Riding snow sled; - Reading books; - Playing toys I guess the real issue is on my side because I don't enjoy physical activities, while babies of this age typically need a lot of physical activities and "reading" is essentially just punching at the books and looking at the pictures, plus the books are pretty boring for any adult.
I recommend the set of Eric Carle books. Our toddler enjoys all of them immensely. When reading, do not multitask and try to make sure you discuss all details (how many stars, where is the moon, let's count the frogs, etc.)
I quit my job. My last day is next Friday. I have 2 years' worth of living expenses saved up and the conviction that I'll find a way to make it work. I've spent 2021 developing self-respect and solidifying self-care routines. I started a regular fitness practice, quit alcohol and stimulants, and grew closer to friends and family. Over the holiday period, I've reflected, and realised: I care so much about my body, wha…
Thumbs up on the video, it is good []. What software are you using to do the editing/screen recording?

When you are 50, what do you think will be your legacy?
I also think this is a very silly and egotistical question. Why do you want a legacy? I feel in some ways this is because people just want to deny there own death and insignificance so want to extend there life somehow beyond them, but they can't. Aiming for legacy is a losing game, it's meaningless, just enjoy your life and help others do the same.
My children and my children's children—generations upon generations will have been shaped in some part by me. That's where my focus ought to be. That's what I aim for.
What legacy _will_ you have?
- Dig deeper into bioinformatics and do some hands-on courses / experiments with various tools that are being used for analysing various *omics data
- Contribute more code to https://benthos.dev and learn more about data streaming
- Catch up on Sean Carroll's Mindscape podcast, since I fell behind for a few months: https://www.preposterousuniverse.com/podcast/
- Meet new likeminded people *wave*
2. Hire a regular online personal trainer that fits my schedule. Upwork is surprisingly a good source for this.
3. Launch a new software product of my own (not client products)
4. Strive for Buddha-like attention and patience with my kids
All are really "live a happier life" goals. Even #3, because I miss doing that so much.
And the slightly less measurable: eat better and exercise more. I'm getting old enough that I should stop putting this off.
