Sergio del AmoRevamp Groovy Calamari newsletter
Lets observer subscribers by year:
How many newsletter did I write every year:
The number of newsletters I wrote this year drop dramatically, subscribers plateau.
Why I am writing less? Busier personal life? Too many pet projects (Greach, podcasts, public speaking ...) ? Busy work year? Probably a combination of all. I have not really give it enough thought to have an answer. The only thing I know is that I don't want to lose this newsletter, so in 2020 I want/need to get back to writing and learning.
Get over my wrist problems
During 2019, I had horrible wrist pain. In the past month, things seems to be a bit better. I am trying to be more disciplined about posture and I am using a Microsoft Sculpt Keyboard and mouse .
But honestly, what I must do is exercise. I plan to do 30 minutes of swimming pool every day and close my apple watch rings daily.
If I really want to stay in this profession, I need to be healthy. I really enjoy sitting in front of a computer (probably I enjoy it too much) but for some parts of 2019 I dreaded typing and clicking.
AWS Certification
I want to become AWS Certified. I have been already preparing the AWS Associated Developer exam and I hope to take in the first quarter of 2020.
