The year 2024 is practically done. The time has come to reflect a bit on what happened during the last twelve months. Below are some of the highlights in no particular order:

• Started that year by moving to a new apartment on Jan 1st. Set the theme so to say 8).
• Spent half of the year in interview processes with multiple companies.
• Moved from the well-known position in services-oriented company to a new role of GoLang developer in a product company.
• Made some git commits on the new project: adding 23392++ and removing 7255– lines of code, which tells nothing :D…
• Started to mentor a total newbie with zero Tech knowledge and a non-technical background. So far, so good ;).
• My very own blog is still alive, and I’m writing posts for it.

In the post about plans for 2024, I set a few goals. It’s time to check them.

Goals closed in 2024:

• Achieved a better work-life balance. I spent some time with family and found a few spots for myself.
• Brought some sports habits back. A lot to work on, but some sports activities were there.
• Improved my Software Development skills. The new project helps with that a lot.

Goals missed in 2024:

• Start a meaningful open-source pet project.
• Work on English pronunciation.
• Resurrect French language learning.

Goals for 2025? To be honest I don’t want to set them at the moment. Will see how it goes.
