2019 Project Report Card

Here is how I did on my 2019 projects. This was the first year I attempted this. The most important thing I learned is that I need to sign myself up for less projects in 2020 because I tend to spread myself too thin.

  1. Learn Kubernetes. I give myself an A. This is what I send most of my day doing. So it was pretty easy for me.

  2. Learn Go Lang. I give myself a B. I was able to create several Go applications at work this year. I also read the first 7 chapters of The Go Programming Langurage.

  3. Learn to use an IDE. I give myself a C. I’m using VSCode on my work and personal laptops. I did not really spend much time learnig any of the fancy shortcuts or more advanced features.

  4. Learn basic Spring Boot. I give myself an F. I did not get around to doing this. I didn’t even start.

  5. Get my blog/website started. I give myself a D. I wanted to do 6 blog posts in 2019. I only did one.

  6. Contribute to Open Source. I give myself an A. I was able to contribute to the k8s descheduler. I’m also now one of the maintainers for the eumonia k8s operator and git2consul.
