Happy New Year everyone!

You guys are all truly wonderful, otherwise you wouldn't be here.

As from someone who started my own company last year and decided to dive into a dozen of projects, reached new milestones and a lot of success, but suffered from severe burnout and depression:

Remember - you can do anything, but not everything. Choose what to focus on and what makes you happy and go for it. Happy 2026!

Happy New Year from Singapore!

Finally got my first GitHub repo to 100 stars (yesterday!) so that is something I'm really dang proud of. This year, I do have my Cambridge A Level Examinations coming up, hopefully I don't mess it up as bad as I did for my O Level Exams...

Exactly one year ago, we started tirreno on New Year’s night at Show HN. Today, we’re nearly at 1k stars and dozens of releases in. Thanks so much, HN, for this year. H_N_Y from the Alps!

Happy NYE! Was a big one for me: went sober. Alcohol became my band-aid solution for everything, which ended up with me ignoring things that needed to be done and putting my relationships, job, and health at major risk. I am now 10 months sober and beyond relieved to not be where I was one year ago. I found my dream job in the process, and was able to transition out of an old job that felt stale and holding me back. There is still lot's of progress to be made.
