Hi there, With the end of Advent Calendar celebration, another celebration kicks in i.e. Christmas/Boxing Day. Although I don't celebrate, being a Muslim, but I do enjoy the break from the routine work. This edition of the weekly newsletter is my 120th edition. I hope you enjoy reading the newsletter as much as I do getting ready for you. Do you have any new year resolutions? I used to but then last year I stopped it. Why? Well couple of projects closed to my heart didn't get started and that made me very pessimistic. I feel so bad that I don't even talk about it. I hope new year will bring positive change. Still, I don't feel like setting new year resolutions. Could it be, I am getting old to keep up with fast pace dev life? Having said, the dev inside me still alive but just needs some push. Fortunately I have so many people around me that always gives me much needed positive energy. Let's talk about some positivity now. Well for me, it was the Perl Advent Calendar 2022, thanks to Olaf Alders and team. I wanted to be part of it but then missed the train unfortunately. Never mind, there is always next time. Having said, I did manage to get the post up but was too late to make it. Fortunately my contribution to Raku Advent Calendar 2022 did work out nicely like Raku and I. Enjoy rest of the holidays and stay safe. Mohammad Sajid Anwar |
