In 2023 I want to help developers to find jobs that match better what they want to do with their careers. This is something I would have needed when I was young so I was looking forward to do it next year.

Or at least I thought that would wait for 2023. But I stumbled upon a handful of fine people who wanted to switch jobs. I had a café (virtual or with caffeine) with them and we talked things through, I had fun doing that and they found it useful. Going like this from 0 to 1 felt great.

Created 9 new videos for YouTube and my online course. Reviewed the final edit for my book. This makes it feel very real.

Submitted 3rd chapter for the new book. It was a long and hard one...

Wrote a nicely viral LinkedIn post.

Started the work on two new free courses in my YouTube channel. One for Java beginners and one for modern Java programming.

I published an article about the concepts behind modern frameworks that was my best-received article on here to date.

Also, I am currently recovering from a bad case of flu. Take that, influenza! I kicked your RNA right out of my system!

Finally finished my blogging automation tooling, so I can publish to my personal site and it automatically uploads to DEV/Medium/Hashnode as well, with keywords and metadata.

DEV and Medium were ok, but damn why does Hashnode API have to use GraphQL 🥲
