A goal I’ve had for a long while was to write one post every week. It didn’t have to be long or something profound, just something. Anything.
The Challenge
The #challenge I have for myself, write one thing a week, about anything, published every Friday(or Saturday, Sunday, or any day that ends in y. Just get it out!).
My Ideal Outcomes
The big mental hurdle I’ve had with this is what do I write about? Anything. I’ve had a few years of mishaps and broken code that I’ve fixed and maybe someone else could learn from my mistakes? No pressure honestly, I’m not perfect, no one is. Half the time, like when I’m onboarding new coworkers, I wince at my old work and mutter “Do as I say, not as I do.” (Small secret, I make a note to go fix whatever I did wrong and loop it into my next PR.)
Hey, that’s not a bad idea actually. My next post can be about how I handle pull requests, from both myself and from coworkers. It will mostly be an ode to smaller PRs and my awkward OCD.
If anyone wants to follow along, or get started yourself, I'm tagging all these posts with the hashtag #52postproject for easy tracking. And on that note, I’ll end it here (I did mention these might be short didn’t I?).
What are you plans for the New Year? Big or small, what would you like to check off your list of things?
