Re: Ask HN: What are your big plans for 2015?
#42I want to work in as much different countries as I possible can. Best case scenario: 12 countries (or locations) in 12 months. I want to see how companies and people work outside of Germany and gain the best possible insights, while helping as good as I can with my skills. The end result might be a book or “just” a blog. So, if anyone of you knows a neat company or agency, which might be able to help with that idea, tell me. ;)

#43My plans for 2015 are to make progress in areas where I have a foundation and want to move along further.
1. Write and self-publish 2 novels to launch a series. I've self-published a few things, ready to move into it more seriously.
2. Become competent with lisp. Fooled around with it in the past, but I'd like to know what I'm doing.
3. Become competent with deep learning / neural networks. Another place where I know the basics, but would like some proficiency.
4. Gain enough fitness to get back into backpacking. Something I used to do a lot, but over the last several years I've been very, very lazy. Long way to go on this one. I'm wasting living in California.
5. Work on a few different micro-documentary projects using things like Vine. I've had some ideas about this, need to put them into practice.

#44Spend less time with friends and more time on programming and playing games.
Are you sure it's a good thing ? Social interaction is important for our mental health.
Why is it important? I'm very outgoing and people would consider me a social person. I also have a lot of friends. The thing is that I don't enjoy it. I see most social gatherings as a waste of time and prefer being home alone working on my projects.

#46- Start to meditate regularly.
- Read more books. (Mainly philosophy, then non-fiction in general.)
- Feed my curiosity more effectively, i. e., instigate a more persistent 'truth seeker' mentality across my life. (I have little to no idea how to do that, but I guess start a diary and document every effort might help.)
- Exercise constantly two and then three days a week.
- Leave the idea-guy mindset more aside and start to work as the execution-guy more often.

#48Become a product manager (at least part-time). I was a developer for 7 years and never progressed towards PM, so I've just left my company, created my bootstrapped start-up because no-one would ever believe in me, got experience at copywriting, marketing, negociation, product roadmap planing, went to conferences, talked at some, (all of those in addition to developing the product obviously), sold enough copies within…
Where are you based?
France (Lyon). I'm ok moving to other countries in Europe and Australia.

#49- Finish my book (on Docker) and do a decent job of it. - Learn a couple of songs on guitar (2014 failure). - Move flat.
Can you provide any info on your book or it's still hush-hush ?
No, it's not hush-hush (or my editor hasn't told me it is at any rate!). The working title is "Using Docker: Developing and Deploying Software with Containers". Coming out on O'Reilly next year.
As well as describing how to use Docker, it will try to explain how to use containers in the full software development workflow.

Well if you don't isolate yourself completely it's not a problem, just pay attention not to become reclusive.
