Met several hi-school friends. Some I have not met for 2 decades. It was fun.
Met an elementary school friend. But we do meet every few months so it might not count here :)

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.

Started working on a few small projects using what I've learned from the Udemy course.
Made some cool graphics for a potential future project(?)
I managed to pick up a copy of Tom Petty's Greatest Hits on vinyl

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.

That's awesome! Well done!

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!

Finished a deep reinforcement learning nanodegree

I also reimagined an old machine on Linux Mint 21.1 because Udacity wasn't maintaining the course properly on Windows

I also got offered my first contract writing opportunity on data science topics

Finally, I started thinking about educational gamedev opportunities in the new year

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 🥲

Exercised every day!

I released the first Release Candidate of wj-config, version 2.0.0-rc.0. It is readily available for download from NPM and the repository has an updated example of use in React. Currently working on upgrading the examples for NodeJS.

Lens • Dec 24 '22

I made my first-ever landing page (which I'm planning to blog about tonight!) making it the first front-end project I've done (at least one that I actually finished 😅).

Used firebase to deploy a ReactJS app after I tried using git to do so.
Learnt how to simplify react code with conditionals and loops.
Learnt a lot of react by working on projects and not reading the many coding books I had downloaded. This was my biggest win this week.

Matias Lapolla • Dec 24 '22

Not many but I enjoyed them

Started working on two side-projects
Gathered books for reading between December 24th and January 02nd
Solved a task at work that was given me until January 6th to solve
Started planning 2023 :)

I spent the whole past week fighting the Omicron virus. Fortunately, till now the fever has been gone and I have almost recovered. Taking this opportunity, I've got enough rest and my body is prepared for the rebooted life for the next week.
