Vision 2020

Hamza Sheikh — Mon, 30 Dec 2019 03:28:18 GMT

It has become a ritual to checkpoint my career every so often and try to figure out where to take it next. It has helped me identify what I want to do and then get all the proverbial ducks in a row. As 2019 nears its end it's time to reflect on my aspirations and what progress I made. Also, I need to plan for 2020.

Contemplating 2019

I spent the holidays in 2018 contemplating what my career in 2019 should look like. It has become a ritual to checkpoint my career every so often and try to figure out where to take it next. It has helped me identify what I want to do and then get all the proverbial ducks in a row.

My First Experience with Go

I have wanted to learn and use Go for a long time. I got a chance at work to start using it to solve some problems. It has been a great experience so far.

Why Learn Erlang?

I am a Pythonista by trade and passion. It was the first language - after trying C, Java, and Perl - that made me feel productive while loving the (admittedly beginner-crappy) code I wrote. I don't claim to be a Python expert but I have worked with it long enough to be well versed in it for most use cases. And yet I feel like trying my hand at another language.

I have dithered on the decision to pick a language and stick with it. My interest has been pulled in three directions over the past couple years: Go, Erlang, and Rust. I even tried my hand at each language for a couple days before life happened.
