Happy new year from SF. 2025 was about hanging on, balancing a heavy workload and a new baby, but in ways which I’m confident are the right decisions for our future. I did a lot of Becoming An Adult this year, learning to trust myself and my partner, and prioritizing what matters. 2026 will probably be more of the same..! But I am hopeful things should ease up over time. Happy new year, this community has given me a…
Thankyou and same to you. Last year for me was rough in many ways, watching a classmate from my high school go on trial for probably the world's most famous triple-murder in recent memory. It affected me so deeply and of course I didn't understand why, so I went head first into self-discovery to try and understand it. Not sure I 100% have the answer yet but well on the way. On the bright side, I managed to keep the w…
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.…
Here's to another year of complaining about AI, rewriting things in Rust/Zig, and warning about dangers of social media!
Happy New Year HN. I write this from St Thomas’ hospital in London, a few hundred meters from Big Ben, the London Eye and the centre of London’s iconic fireworks, which we watched a few hours ago. My wife and I are here for the birth of our baby daughter, which will complete our family after being lucky enough to be blessed with two beautiful sons (aged 3 and 5). My god the NHS in the UK is a miracle. We’ve had two d…

Wishing you and your wife (and your boys) a better 2026 and beyond.
And hopefully the NHS will continue to exist, I read about its struggle and the call for it to be privatized and end up like the system in here the US.
Huge respect to healthcare workers and wish they'd be compensated better.
Vibe coding helped me build several small games for my daughter and unlocked her interest in programming.
Wishing everyone a wonderful 2026 - it's going to be a great year!
