#428 months of life without alcohol, pot, meat. Launching an agency/consultancy with a sister company that resells hosting and optimization.
How did it go with the alcohol? I am going to try from Jan 1. Plan is to do at least 2 months. Do you think its better to cut it off in stages or just abruptly?
If you’re an alcoholic and drink daily, it can be very dangerous to stop cold turkey. If this is more of a lifestyle change, where you drink a few times a week but want to cut it out, I’d say (with zero scientific justification whatsoever) it’s sort of up to the person. Dietary and habitual changes for me have been easiest when made dramatically, but I know for many others that reduces quality outcomes. This is probably one of those scenarios where you need to know which side of the spectrum works best for you from past experiences.

#43I keep a growing library of little one-page javascript apps for illustrating concepts and educating my two boys. Reviewing my commit history for the year, I was pleased to find I've added nearly 20 apps to it in 2017. I wouldn't have been able to build so many 20 years ago, but there's so much code available out there to copy-paste, programming often feels like playing with building blocks. http://ideonexus.github.io…
As a programmer with a young child who loves screens, this is a lovely idea.

#44Automating more Terraform stuff.
First, a script that calculates what percentage of your AWS resources (15 different resources for now) are managed by the Terraform code in a given directory, and then creates GitHub style badges for each. https://github.com/chrisanthropic/terraform-infra-as-code-co...
Second, a script to fully automate importing an existing GitHub org into Terraform and create a basic Terraform resource block for each resource. Imports teams, users, user memberships, and all repos. https://github.com/chrisanthropic/terraform-import-github-or...
Both scripts are just bash and the AWS API, GitHub API, and Terraform. jq is also required.

#45I worked on my side project, a cross-platform game engine: https://github.com/bioglaze/aether3d
In 2017 I mostly worked on the engine's Vulkan and D3D12 support. In 2018 I plan to add Android support and physically-based rendering.
I sometimes also blog about the development: https://bioglaze.blogspot.fi/
