What do you plan to achieve this year? Both professionally and personally.

Are you going to learn a new programming language? Familiarize yourself with a concept? Spend time with family?

I don't think New Year's resolutions are a good idea. There's a whole cultural phenomenon of them not working.

I think, if you're going to set a particular time to focus on changing behaviors, you really want to start right away, with very small steps, and ramp up as you approach the time of focus.

Q1 for me will emphasize going even deeper on sleep improvements, and on organizing events / making friends.

What are your plans for 2030?

Seems like you've been thinking about this for several years now!

Since it seems no one has yet asked: what do you consider significant about 2030?

I'm retiring my home Exchange 2003 server. I haven't picked a replacement yet, but over the Christmas break, I started fooling around with Mail-in-a-Box. I want to look at iRedMail, too.

Professionally, I have big plans to transition my team to GitOps. It's going to take a lot of cross-training, but I'm really looking forward to it.
