Surprised there's no one saying

"WHY WAIT UNTIL 2021"

U make apps?

It's tough because accomplishing what I really need to accomplish involves this f***ing pandemic finally ending. But I have to push forward with something.

In 2020, I really knocked it out of the park in terms of my teaching career. I got my credential and secured a good job in my field. My financial situation is stable.

So for 2021, I need to start working towards my dreams. I'm going to be turning 30 and it's time to stop f***ing around.

1. 2 hours, minimum, spent on writing new work, revising old work or networking each day. No exceptions.

2. Set aside money each check for creative work. No excuses. If it's that important to me, it deserves to be funded, not starved.

3. Once the pandemic lets up, begin attending workshops and conventions to network and build relationships in my field. I'm not likely to get anywhere just spamming emails to industry people all day long.

4. Partially related, but go to sleep at the same time every night so I can get some stability in my mood and have the energy to get things done. Insomnia kicked my ass this year.

I've seen someone recc this already

Is it really that good? 🤔

Oh wow thank you for that!

And you're right about the frameworks

I mean... at least about React

I started learning Angular bc my friend who already has a job is using it in his projects and I see a lot of offers that require Angular

Learning React will give me a shot at almost all of the rest

With Vue idk
Ngl I haven't seen one offer where it was Vue only

But I'm deffo gonna learn React

Thank you!

Also you know... The list doesn't have to be long. Calling your fam more often seems like a big and important one so fingers crossed you can end 2021 by saying you managed to get it done

Can't relate but seeing how many poeple have problems with that it has to be real tough

You made it so far already maybe that "new year" motivation will be enough to give you a push!

Enter 2022 nicotine free ;)

As of now just for fun

Last year my goal was just to cut down from 50/max strength after a dude I let hit my vape almost fell

At 3 now, maybe I can drop it for good

That's what she said

knowing someone who works at a company is your biggest resource for getting hired, where you go to school can help a lot in some cases but you gotta work the connections, personal projects are definitely important too

Oh s*** how could I forget my biggest goal, complete my bachelor's and pray I can get into grad school (prob won't happen)

That's a cool list

I'm not a materialist at all but getting a Tesla is my ultimate goal (I connect getting a Tesla with being financially stable and having enough mental stability that only thing I have to worry about is what Tesla color I am gonna get)

Wish you the best in 2021!

We will look back at this thread in a year and we better do everything we type here or else...

• snag this promotion early 2021 into a managing role
• six figures invested

moving out in january so my goal is just to keep my s*** together lol

Banging your sister

Angular was the first popular frontend framework and worked really good. However it came with a lot of changes through the years which made legacy code unuseable and requiring projects to be refactored completely. This turned a lot of developers from the framework. So there's still a lot of companies using the framework because they depend on it, but if you're looking at the future it's not necessarily the best framework. I mentioned Vue because it's a fast growing framework which similar to React has an easy learning curve and intuitive approach to building components.

So if I may give you another advice it's to look at the stability of frameworks and languages, the popularity among developers (Stackoverflow survey for example) and the vision behind it. This way you're able to learn languages which are widely used withing companies, but also see upcoming languages which could potentially take over within a couple of years. And that's where $ comes in. For example when Go was introduced there wasn't directly a high demand but a few years later (as the popularity of the language grew) there are more and more companies looking for Go developers.

Good advice

Stackoverflow survey is coming out very soon I think since 2020 is about to end

I'm gonna have an eye on how Vue is doing
