Hey!

Since 2015 is right around the corner, I’m curious what you’re wishing/hoping for? (I’m not asking for New Year’s resolutions like losing weight or quit smoking. More like what you’re hoping to archive professionally.)

For me: I hope to see more of the world in 2015 and work abroad for some time, preferably in some startups or agencies.

Learn better linux.

Learn c || c++ || rust || java.

At least one more pet project. I started 3 interesting projects, but never launched them.

Using Go in production

Launching more products

Open sourcing more of the node.js code/systems I have written in the past year, I am working on this now.

Primary income from product based revenue instead of consulting

To set my life straight. I dropped out of university, went to college because of my parents, I hate college. I want to drop out of college, finish my startup so I can get a developer job. My future depends on this startup.

I find this admirable, although I also think you seem to be putting yourself under quite a lot of pressure. Have you thought about the kind of support you'll need for that change?

I'd be perfectly happy with being able to make a friend sometime during the year. The past few years have not been fruitful in this category.

Hello friend, how are you?

1. First and foremost - master ML and Deep Learning. There's nothing that I ever wanted more in my life than that, these things are awesome.

2. Finally, after a long time of being stuck without a progress, get great at blogging(I've recently dropped the old blog and started a new one from scratch - about AI and ML, this time it will be much better).

3. Figure out how to move into US/Canada/Australia/UK, one of the awesome countries =)

4. Finally start making cool videos for my vlog. I've almost figured out how to do that, I already can make the "visual" part very good, but I am still bad at talking, I should get much more skill.

In 2015 I'll be looking to start my family with my wife. So I'm wishing for a successful pregnancy and hoping for a healthy baby near the end of 2015 or early 2016.
