What are your goals as developer for 2k20+?

I'm wondering if you developers out there have any plans or goals for the new year or even the new decade that you'd like to share?

And I take the opportunity to say a big THANK YOU to all who create awesome things, contribute to Open Source and help making the work and life of others easier! You are gold! 👏🏻🥇

Of course (I did a write up here: thedevcoach.co.uk/2019-a-year-in-r...) but mainly it's to improve my writing. And I have a big stack of things to learn. What about you Andreas?

Here they are:

  • Spend more quality time with my wife and my children
  • More Open Source contributions than last year
  • Release next major version of SongDrive
  • Write less code, better organize code
  • Get at least 2 new long-term customers
  • Get FreeCodeCamp's Front End Libraries Certification

I am looking to get more involved in developer communities, blog/write about various topics, start a youtube channel, start my own development agency and make some cool new products :)

You asked us the question, but didn't tell us your goals! So, what are your goals?

Planning to get more into React (I know the basics but I want to become more confident with the framework); look at Blockstack and dApps; contribute to open source; finally start blogging for real?

Learn Azure and get certification, learn Angular, switch my current job for better opportunities, start blog. I also want to spent sometime getting domain knowledge. Likewise, create a passive income source.

switch my current job for better opportunities

So encouraging to hear that you're not staying unsatisfied in your current job but being brave enough to switch! Wishing you the best for this change!

That's such an awesome goal! Keep it up and don't compare yourself to me or other developers too much! Reach your own milestones in your own speed and you'll become more than good!

Not an easy thing but code efficiency will definitely pay off! Will set this as one of my goals too!

I haven't read Clean Code completely but I read many bits and pieces of it, and I definitely still want to read what is missing. Its a great book and taught me many things about code patterns, reusability, how to think when writing to keep a clean, understandable and maintainable code, and many other things.

You surely picked a great goal for 2020 :)
