New Year’s resolutions

This new year has just started (well 27 days ago), but I have been thinking about what I would like to learn and change during this 2024. Here are my personal thoughts on the matter. I hope they could inspire you to do a similar list.

What I would like to learn

Tech

Domain Driven Design

Code bases I have worked on in my career tend to have some tech debt, and the code structure is very different depending on the developer that created the code. Do not know if true, but the promise of a common language not only between the product team and developers, but even among themselves, seems seductive.

Terraform

A language for software infrastructure always seem interesting. Many organizations use it and that is also useful for my career.

Golang

The google language that which is used in Docker and Kubernetes. I started learning it in 2020 but have not worked significatly with it in the past years. I would like to do a library for it, let’s see if I find the time to do it.

Others

Communication

Being able to have difficult conversations or how to do announcements are things that I have already been doing for a while, but I need to keep working on that.

English

While I consider myself to have a proficient skill in English, to keep up-to-date it is a continous battle: idioms and pronunciation of uncommon words are areas I would like to improve.

Conclusion

What are your New Year’s resolutions? Do you plan to learn a new programming language?
