Conclusion
I’ve started diving deeper into areas I’m interested in. In Go, I’m focusing on concurrency by studying goroutines and channels. My goal is to gain a solid grasp of them and then move on to the context package, which I see mentioned often but don’t fully understand yet.
I use a Mac mini as my primary computer, but I’d like more flexibility and mobility around the house. That’s w hy I’m looking into AppleScript to see if I can make my iPad function as the main display. I believe I’ve figured out most of the steps, and I’m close to achieving what I want.
I also read The Toaster Project, which was fascinating. Then I started reading Team Topologies, which had been sitting in my “read later” list. Although it might not be exactly what I need right now, it’s helpful for learning about team management strategies I might use in the future.
Finally, I’ve been reevaluating all the RSS feeds, podcasts, and YouTube channels I follow. While I love discovering new information, passively scrolling through massive amounts of content without proper reflection doesn’t actually help me learn. I also find it overwhelming to keep up with so many sources. Cutting down is a bit scary, but there’s no point in subscribing to more content than I can absorb. So this year, I plan to reduce my feeds and be more intentional about what I follow. If you have any recommendations, please let me know — thanks!
