I'm a pretty good dev, one of the best at what I do. But over the years I've always kept what I know to myself, I feel it has kind of had a negative impact. I also suffered a burnout towards the end of last 2019 and kind of felt like i stagnated a bit, so here are the changes I will be making:
1) I'm hosting a meetup in the first quarter of 2020 for intermediate to senior backend devs in Lagos Nigeria. I hope to use it as a platform to help grow the backend community and also to help me share what I know and learn as well. (Backend speakers required)
2) Also will be hosting a backend conference sometime between 2nd and 3rd quater for same purposes. (Speakers also needed)
3) Write a whole lot more and speak at more conferences other than what I organize (So watch out for a horde of articles dev.to)
4) Developer advocacy is something I have become really interested in of late. I will be actively seeking a position as an advocate
5) Intend to pick up at least one open-source project to actively contribute to
6) Picked a book called essentialism, intend to learn how to use the power of less
7) Lastly, picking up a new language (Golang) and will be putting a lot of what I learnt from ML this year to good use
I expect it to be a busy year and most of my activities will be organized towards improving the backend community in my country, continent and at large and also coming out of my shell.
