There are certain technologies that come along and you wonder, where is this going to make a true impact in my life? The LLMs that are out there are pretty amazing. You can imagine new pictures, make new memes, create poems and rap songs. Upload a book and turn it into a podcast with almost no effort at all.
And then there are the coding agents.
Work / Life balance is something that we talk about a lot at work. I think the problem with it is, work AND life are often intertwined and leaving the office, especially when you work from home, is challenging.
With this years theme, I want to get more hands on. I want to see the results of the work or craft that I put in. This can be seen as a rebranding of the year of learning where I wanted to learn certain skills in the shop and ended up learning the skills needed for a new role. While successful, it didn’t hit all that I was looking to do.
If you want to look back and what I set out to accomplish this year read the original post.
Its that time of the year when you can sit back, reflect on the things you accomplished and wonder…what did I actually do? Where the f&ck did the year go?!?!?
If you look back at what I was hoping to do there was a heavy theme about spending more time in the shop creating and making things. IF anything this year, I spent noticeably LESS time in the shop. This is a failure on many levels. My stress increased and more time was spent sitting in front of a computer working.
Its been a while since I have shared a few things that I’ve been listening to. If you are looking for a new album to dive into or new podcast, be sure to check these out.
