Thanks for sharing - I love reading these end of the year reviews.

> Get better at design.

> Learn a new language.

> Do more open source.

> Write fewer blog posts.

> Focus (utterly failed here)

These seem like prime examples of "bullshit goals" [1] that aren't actionable. For goals to be useful they should be quantifiable and accountable.

Hey Mahdi,

Ignore baconface. Great review, it's interesting to see things from a developers point of view. I was hoping to see more of what you learned in design. I might make some speaker deck presentations myself.
