I'm wondering if you developers out there have any plans or goals for the new year or even the new decade that you'd like to share?
And I take the opportunity to say a big THANK YOU to all who create awesome things, contribute to Open Source and help making the work and life of others easier! You are gold! 👏🏻🥇

I am looking to get more involved in developer communities, blog/write about various topics, start a youtube channel, start my own development agency and make some cool new products :)
You asked us the question, but didn't tell us your goals! So, what are your goals?

You took my goals right out of my mouth!

I'm torn between 5 languages, so my first goal isfigure out which language I want to master and my second then becomesmaster language#{previous_answer}.
My current main skills are Python, JavaScript, Bash, Ruby (beginner), (S)CSS. I work primarily as a back-end developer (with DevOps on the side).
I'm torn between the following languages and their reasons:
- Ruby (+ Rails) -I like the way Rails works, but is it "too late" to start mastering this "old/aging" framework?
- Elixir (+ Phoenix) -I like the way BEAM and LiveView work, but it's a functional language. And is it kind of "niche"? Do I want/need to learn Erlang too (*shiver*)?
- Kotlin -I'd like to make an Android app (no idea what though). But is learning just Kotlin enough? Do I have to learn Java as well (*shiver*)? Also I'm not familiar with the whole Java ecosystem.
- Dart (+ Flutter) -Same reason as above. I've used Dart in the past, when it was trying to be a JS replacement. Is it too niche?
- Rust -Amazing language, though quite hard (low-level). But I have no use-case for it.
So yea. Wish me luck.

I can only speak for Elixir. If it's web services you are going for, Phoenix should be enough and you shouldn't have to learn Erlang as well. Nevertheless, using a Erlang module here and there is usually not very difficult :)
Elixir School is a reaaaally nice resource. Check it out!

Thank you for sharing your thoughts. Unfortunately I'm not used to any of these five languages, so I can't give you a recommendation - but I'm sure you'll choose the right one!
- Learn 5 new technical terms every week.
- Answer at least one question every 2 weeks on a Question/Answer site like Stack Overflow or Slack group.
- Do 1 coding challenge a week.
- Exercise/Stretch for 5 minutes every day.
- Write 1 blog post a month.

Very good points! I also answered questions on StackOverflow over a long time and it really was a win for both sides! You always learn something yourself when you're helping others solving their problems!

That's such an awesome goal! Keep it up and don't compare yourself to me or other developers too much! Reach your own milestones in your own speed and you'll become more than good!
