agreed. that's the equivalent of doing work for free when it should be a business transaction. so, tech-related new years resolution number one: learn to say no in as diplomatic a way as possible.
No "New Year's Resolutions" exactly, but I have a couple of lists to try and whittle down. There's the generic "stuff to learn" list, a "stuff to build" (personal projects, experiments, random stuff I'm interested in, etc.) list, and then product specific TODO lists.
But the closest thing to a traditional "New Year's Resolution" would just be that I'm dedicating this phrase as my mantra for 2018:
"Ship It"
That's it.. just fucking SHIP stuff. 2017 was a good year in terms of getting a lot of stuff almost done, now 2018 is the year to actually ship stuff.
