Ask HN: Your biggest accomplishment in 2012?

5 points by coryl 13y ago ↗ HN

HN is full of highly accomplished people, so let's inspire and share.

This year, I learned to code. I learned Objective-C and now make a living from my iOS apps. I also traveled to Thailand for 2 months and had my first Muay Thai fight which I won a decision after 5 rounds.

2012 has been my worst year by far. I failed countless times. Hoping 2013 is better.

You learned a lot from your failures!

This year I got married and started freelancing. Now I'm building a company around my consulting services and launching my first product.

It's been a great year and I think 2013 will be even better.

I finally landed a paying job (an internship, but I'm still in school) doing the thing I love: coding and problem-solving. I actually got the position through a Who's Hiring thread, which for me validates my browsing of HN heh.

As for 2013, I graduate in May and am looking forward to working with startups in NYC. Hope to eventually found my own. I'm already building the first product!

Left my job. Crossed the country, on foot and catching rides. Returned to California. Mostly finished getting well. Made in roads into solving the big issue that I think holds back at least one of my projects.

After 3 years of having startup ideas, I finally committed and built a product (with a couple of great friends) that's ready to launch! I'm not sure when we can truly call ourselves a startup (when we exit private beta? When we incorporate? When we get funding?), but I made huge steps towards that this year and it feels awesome!
