Summary of important things that I did in 2020-2021 years
Due to piling up routine I got to writing 2020 year sum-up only in the end of 2021.
So it will be both 2020 and 2021 years sum-up.
- One health issue solved.
- We travelled a lot in Thailand by car.
- I organized bunch of Bangkok’s DevOps Fridays, created an interesting community of great engineers.
- We moved to a much better apartment (better for us and for kids) near a park :)
- covid-19 wasn’t that bad in Thailand, but still there was a lot of sitting at home due to lockdown, curfews and restrictions.
Most interesting/inspiring people I met during 2019 years:
- Arthi Jaganathan - Principal Solutions Architect at Amazon Web Services (AWS). I was amazed by Arthi sheer amount of knowledge in AWS and IT engineering and ability to learn new things. Something unknown? Let’s do POC. Okay - it’s known now :) I was really inspired to learn new things by her approach.
New hobby this year:
- I realize that I really like to look at street art :)
Two might-have-been dream in this year:
- I could sleep 8 hours per day - but I constantly find some excuses.
- I could walk 8000 steps every day - but I often find some excuses.
What did not go well
- I didn’t sleep enough in 2021 year, I should fix this as soon as possible.
- I didn’t do much programming during 2021.
- I got my weight back to ~105 kg from <= 95 kg :'(
- Mostly because I couldn’t go out for a walk during covid-19 lockdowns.
What went well
- Our daughter Lina was born, healthy and sound :)
- So over 2020-2021 our son Ilya and daughter Lina are growing and bring us a lot of joy :)
- My wife’s sister travelled to Thailand and stay with us for 8 months :)
- She helped a lot with Lina.
- I went to several really interesting trainings about application security, DevOps and AWS.
- We moved to a new apartment near the park
