- Improve my online presence, mostly through some blog posts. - See if I can squeeze a publication or two out of the stuff we're doing at work. - Make some more meaningful open source contributions

> - Make some more meaningful open source contributions What kind of project are you planning on contributing to? I keep telling myself that I should contribute to some Linux desktop project, but the problem I have is that everything seems to just work and I don't run into many issues to fix... :)

Considering something like torchgeo (https://github.com/microsoft/torchgeo), or maybe some geospatial library written in Julia.

May I point you at linux audio? ;-) Getting any type of DAW working in linux without having to do some crazy rewiring with jack would be a godsend.

Here are some goals I'll be seeking next year:

- read more. Read a couple of books this year, but I just want more, and more deep reflections on them.

- knowledge base: have more trackability around the stuff I like. So I'm getting into knowledge base management so that I can have pre written ideas and have a more easy path towards some future projects. Having that become a habbit is a goal for me.

- learn react + d3. Being a data scientist, I've always loved the cool data viz projects I've seen around the web, so I'd like to get my feet wet in the world.

- masters degree: I have had as a goal to join a masters program in statistics because it is a discipline I really enjoy studying and feel I can actually enjoy my routine during the 2 years I would be locked into. Now that I have the financial stability to maybe quit work for a while (or have another less demanding type of work), I feel the could be feasable.

- To get better at basketball. I have always loved that sport and it helped me get fit. But I've never been particulary good at it, so I'd like to improve to have more fun at pickup games.

1. B1 in European Portuguese. (Wife and I got our A2 this year and are seriously considering moving to Porto). 2. Actually start updating my blog with my research. 3. Shift the weight that's piled on the last few years 4. Start the new job search, just hit 5 years at my current role and I'm getting seriously itchy feat.

Curious here, where are you from and why are you considering moving to Porto?

My everyday living today is waiting for the war to end.

Electricity cut offs, freezing cold, water shortage, rocket terror and general unpredictability make it harder for me to commit to some sort of a long term plan, much less muster enough energy to do Leetcode style interviewing.

Although, I've started running for an hour per day, which helps with bad mood and suicidal thoughts.

My goals for 2023 and beyond are: survive, connect with people like me, transition, hopefully find a new tech job, get into health/longevity. I believe that logevity is the next big thing.

- somehow make my business survive the recent 10 billion dollar fraud

- otherwise, find work that permits me to care about performance and doesn't pay pennies

- Started learning Japanese in 2022, so I’d love to pass JLPT N5 of N4 in 2023. These are beginner levels, so not very useful for anything, but it would be so cool!

- I’d like to start a micro-startup. I do a lot of open source, but would like to do paid work for a change! I have a few ideas, but need to learn how to make them billable.

- I very slowly started moving from Gmail to an email address with a custom domain name. I need to double down on that and get away from Gmail asap. I can’t stand Google anymore and Gmail is my biggest remaining tie to them.
