Ask HN: What have you completed in 2015

3 points by lakeeffect ↗ HN
What have you completed in 2015 or are looking to release in 2016. I use completed loosely. Would love to hear some progress to motivate me into the new year.

A lot of open-source stuff. The best ones were:

- https://github.com/IonicaBizau/git-stats (January, 2015) - https://github.com/IonicaBizau/node-cobol (October, 2015) - https://github.com/IonicaBizau/gridly (December, 2015)

Working part-time (~100 hours / month) for the company I work for, I still have enough "free" time when I do: open-source stuff, JavaScript training, playing piano, playing with high-voltage (!), playing with chemistry explosions and experiments (in fact making fire almost anywhere, anytime).

One of this year goals was to drop out of college. I did it two months ago. Since officially I'm still a student (my documents are at the university), I'm still getting loans because of my good results from my previous year. But I don't regret this decission at all (at least, until now!).

All the thanks go to God! I enjoy being a Jesus follower. I believe this world is not our home. God prepares for us a better world. Until then, I'm happy to love Him. Actually, being a believer and web developer is a nice combination.

Wish you a happy 2016! :-)

I have cut back my heroin use which has in turn rekindled my passion for mathematics, programming and electronics. Unfortunately quitting heroin will never be complete until I am dead

I quit smoking cannabis.

I learned and am writing more clojure code.

I have developed a system for myself that helps me be more honest and self-aware.

I want to have one day clean (no heroin/suboxone/opiates) for one day prior to Jan 1 2016.

I quit eating as much garbage food.

I quit working at Facebook which was the best thing I have ever done professionally.

I stopped masturbating.

I built a home security system based on arduino and raspberry pi with full HD video and a dropbox/s3 backend for archiving video captures.

Ionicabizau - Thanks for sharing your faith. That takes guts. I am not a believer but I think that is awesome that you celebrate part of your life in that way.
