2021

Uff da. 2021 was basically 2020 part two, with very little change except just recently in the last quarter of this year, during which I made some big changes in my life. More on that soon.

Anyways, here’s a breakdown of my 2021.

Accomplishments

• 1,674 contributions on GitHub
• 230 runs
• 168 climbing sessions
• 17 days surfing
• 1 v5 boulder sent outdoors
• 3 5.12a sport climbs sent outdoors
• Finally learned (and used in Production) the Go Programming Language.
• Also, through an unexpected series of events, I learned Java and used Java Spring as my main framework for a few months.
• Finished an EP of jungle-inspired beats (unreleased)
• Launched a small side project (craglog)
• Started reading more
• Successfully landed and transitioned to a new role at a new company
• Finally began taking real action on my plan to move out of Shanghai

Neutral

• Still (physically) in Shanghai

Failures

• 0 dollars earned on side projects
• 0 new music released
• Coding less in my spare time for fun
• Wrote few blog posts
• Abandoned my side project after initial launch (craglog)
• Launched fewer side projects than 2020
• Still (physically) in Shanghai

Overall, it was a successful year, but mainly because I lowered my standards. I didn’t accomplish my goals in 2020, which then got pushed back to 2021, and I then accomplished.
