Constantly learn more technologies and concepts.
Keep practicing what I know.
But most important, improve on my current knowledge, never settle for what I currently know.

Yes, and specially now after some time working remotely I think finding balance is the goal for many people that used don’t think about it a lot. Thank you for your kind words.

My main goal for this year is to try to get some real instruction in JavaScript. I have been flying with only information that I have taught myself by now, which, lays face it, men's I have missed quotes a lot of the base concepts, specifically in the case of react, which I now use for almost all of my websites.

I am also looking into maybe joining a hackathon, but IDK off I will have that kinda time.

Also want to try to find a summer job where I can build websites, but the problem is that (being self-taught) I have no official experience with the tech. It would also have to be something I could do virtually because I would like something that I could keep during next year, which is my senior year win l when I am planning to take quite a few dual credit classes. Not likely, but would be amazing to find.

My top priority as a developer for 2022 is to first transition from a player coach (e.g. IC and manager) into an IC; anyone want to be my manager? We're hiring a Senior Product Engineering Manager.

Then from there working with my manager to determine if I want to go up for a promotion (from Lead to Principal) or not. During this time, I'm looking at how I can better mentor, pair, and share knowledge.

Moving towards a different stack as a professional. Started working with PHP/Python, then moved to C#/Python but as I improved my OO skills I realized I prefer working with languages like go, elixir or even javascript (typescript bad).
