2025, me voilà ! 🥳

This is a submission for the 2025 New Year Writing challenge: Retro’ing and Debugging 2024.

Professional Goals

This year, it was very complicated to be completely transparent. Time went by very quickly, which didn't help. To put it in context, I've been freelancing since April 2023, and it's always difficult to find assignments at the start of a business. But I never thought it would take me so long. I have a lot of trouble doing certain things, but I know I have the skills to carry out a project for a client, whether it's a website, accessibility or SEO. In short, I have the skills. But I quickly realized, and I already knew, that if I'm not recognized, I won't get any assignments. It's the same everywhere, you might say.

So I'd like this year to be more procreative than the last, and for me to rediscover the joy of having missions and fulfilling myself in my work. I love what I do, but it's discouraging when nothing's there.

If you'd like to help me, please share my LinkedIn profile, both personal and professional. And also the website!

Personal Goals

There's a bit of everything in there that I'd like to improve. But I'll write some of it here. Already compared to my previous post, I wanted to do more Twitch stream during 2024. I didn't, I had to do 5 at the MAXIMUM.

Then continue development of some of my projects like Mr. Robot app (a Discord bot). And contribute more to the Open Source world, especially to Astro!

DEV Community Contributions

Having had things happen in my life over the last few months, I spend less time on my computer, and therefore less time moderating on DEV. (I'm curious about my stats).

Recap!

🧐 Having a job that works
🚀 Contribute again this year to Open Source projects like Astro docs
🔨 Continue some projects like Mr. Robot app

Sharing things in public definitely helps since you are putting yourself out there for others to see.

Contributing to open source is also important especially for people who loves building stuff (I'm also planning to do it more this year).

Anyway, Happy new year Thomas! 🎉 Let's keep doing amazing stuff.
