#114Dear nerd blog,
Happy New Year to you!
This year I got my PhD (focused in robotics) and walked the camino del norte (a pilgrimage in Spain). I am trying to transition from academia to industry without success (for now) and several threads here on HN remind me I am not alone in this.
Wish you the best people!

#115Happy New Year HN! Grateful for the insights I get every morning from fellow humans through the comments.
This year I sold my company, for a while I thought I will die with it. This year has been brutal in some ways, tackling lots of daemons and getting through them.
Wishing everyone a great new year celebrations with friends and family.
Love you HN.

#120Happy 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.…
This is my dads first year sober! I'm super proud of both you and my dad =)
