After a bad experience working for a company and having my skills questioned (which made me really sad along with the lockdown) I'm working on myself to have confidence in myself again so I'm trying to read more articles not just about code but about life balance and other issues that often pop into our minds. Continuing to learn JavaScript more deeply and maybe AI is in my plans this year.

I've recently moved roles and would probably be considered senior now. I want to expand my skill set so I'm not just a code generator, but good with documentation, planning and collaborating, mentoring, etc. I'd like to get to a tech lead kind of role. I'm now a Platform Engineer working on the front end (customer optimisations, developer experience) so I've got a good role to allow for that.

I'll start learning .NET as well as that's what our back end services are in and I'd like to do some full stack stuff.

Finding a developer job is still high on my priority list, but I've also got other priorities such as learning new JS frameworks, doing more algorithms to become better at problem solving, building more projects with Node and React, and working on various side projects. Right now my big focus is getting my YouTube channel launched.

I'm reading a lot about Functional Programming.

I see you mostly write about JavaScript, have you been learning about other functional programming languages or mostly sticking with JS?

Mine is mostly focus on my training, since knowing the direction I want to take my development career I’ve been working on setting some goals. I’ve been working on setting out my plan based on what I know and where I need to improve and going from there 🙂
My boss and I have also set out some goals alongside these to work on my next promotion out of my Junior role 🙂 so all very exciting stuff! 👏🏻

For me,

1. First priority for 2022 will be contributing to 2-3 OpenSource projects, related to web development and python libraries.
2. I have also started writing about DSA quick starts, so looking to cover all topics by the end of this year.

I intend to finally complete my web dev course, and get better at JS. I hope by the end of this year, I'll be fully transitioned into a fullstack dev, with real skills that are in demand.......

Likewise. I do a fair amount of work in React, so I get exposed to that somewhat already, but I'd like to expand that out further. Most of my server-side work is in PHP nowadays, and obviously that's not often associated with functional programming, but we do have a LinkedIn Learning account at work I have access to and that has a course on FP in PHP that might be worth a look.

🤐🤫 Don't reveal our plans

I completely lost my self as a programmer and have no Idea where to go , maybe I try to get my frontend skills back somehow, or maybe I go back to Back-End, maybe I go and learn DevOps or ... Have no real plan :'(

I'd been taking side projects for too long that I really want and need to build something just because I like it or I trust the project. By my own, just for fun or whatever.

And read those 3 pending books in my bookshelf that are staring at me each second 😅

I have a few priorities.

• Be fluent in 3 technical stacks (JavaScript, Python, C#)
• To have a good flexible work life balance
• A good stable job and salary
• Multiple passive income streams
• Huge savings
• Big audience across social media

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.

as a developer, my top priority this year is getting other people excited about programming, especially high schoolers and undergrads. the road to the future will be paved by software engineers, I want to empower as many of them as I can.

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.

To eat, and to be able to live a decent life.

Apart from that I don't have that many priorities. Maybe feeling like I do a good job, and be proud of the things I build. And depending on the project, making sure we give users the most value and usefullness out of the systems we build! Offering value to people is always worth while!!

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.

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).

Understanding Requirements & producing Db out of it (data modeling kind of) --> lemme how I can do that

Databases (raw sql, designing databases, etc)

React JS

Problem solving , data structures, algos

Work life balance

You were not supposed to reveal our plan

Keep working on my portfolio, which (i hope) will help me in case I will need to find new job

Get better with Linux

Get into more of a rhythm with writing blog posts.

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.

Getting Angular certificate level2 and level3, also Master Cypress for e2e tests and get Scrum developer certificate

I am focusing more on learning javascript and node.js.
Also coordinating IT projects assisting SMEs and startups as well as exploring web3.0

Keep learning, advance more into web development, learn basic web security testing, learn basic AI/ML

I am using roadmap.sh, just focusing on the back-end developer section... learning and relearning stuffs i am not good at.

I really don't have much of a focus – I jump between interesting stuff.
My goal is to change that. Start making small products and ship often.

To land up a good job

Write atleast 1 data blogs per week in dataqoil.com

Create more courses, videos and content so I can help coders level up and get more people into coding

If you're dealing with data products. AI is the way to go.

to make money
