Not Your Typical Tech Post

Published December 30, 2024

Introduction

Hi there, 2024 is closing and an increment of 1 will open. It’s been a crazy ride in my career and as a human being. There are some few highlights that I would like to mention before this year closes.

Don’t Rush Things

I mean, rush package manager is quite odd if you are a bias with npm. But hey, it’s not about tech! I realized that I always want to do things in rush. I haste in learning new tech, programming language, different domains, and many more. In the beginning, I thought I was making progress, but little did I know, I am rushing and it makes things slower. Breaking into tech is not an easy path to take. It’s a vast ocean of different possibilities. Rowing your boat without any direction is worse than failing with direction.

I got married

Fun fact, I don’t like English. Not because I can’t speak and write it, I just find it difficult. Fortunately, I married an English subject teacher. From the time I began writing this, she will for sure check the grammar of this blogpost. The wedding preparation was tremendously difficult. I can’t help but say “Thank God” as we have successfully pulled it off. This is the most significant thing that happened to me this 2024.

I am a Christian and believes in the Message

I stand on my faith, and will die with it.

What’s next?

No one knows what the future holds. Only Him knows what’s next. As they say, don’t fight the current. To be honest, I have a lot of dreams and ambitions. However, knowing that I won’t carry it to my grave makes me think more about it. But I will be selfish if I will not do something for others.

Other highlights.

  1. Lay-off knocked on my door.
  2. Down to my last peso.
  3. Struggling emotionally.
  4. Impostor syndrome.

Nonetheless, 2024 has been a great ride. And will expect more this 2025. To God be the Glory!
