Started to work as Software Developer at CoinGecko field since early this month, and really enjoying it.
So far, I had build Chrome Extension and written a web interface that communicate with Ethereum blockchain with CoinGecko.
Something that learn it in a hard way in 2018
Move from Redux to Mobx, too much boilerplate to make it work.
Start hosting chat bots and server got hacked, learn it the hard way.
Server hosting on DO is a pain in the ass, and I am still doing it for free for the sake of community, but a lot of people take it for granted.
Maybe DO is not that great (easy to use tho), consider EC2 or other alternatives.
Sometimes you build a tool that you think is quite cool and many ppl gonna like it, but ended up no one using it, therefore marketing is the key on increase adoption.
Nobody read your blogs on steem.
There's no dapps on steem so far.
I am bad at design.
Might need to improve backend skill, spending too much time on JS.
You don't really need to use blockchain to solve a certain things.
Next year plan
maintaining code base for all the steem related stuff.
Build something useful (maybe rewrite personal site) with Elixir Phoenix / Golang.
Learn to build a scraper? maybe?
Learn DevOps. (Explore AWS, GCP and Azure)
Try to leave comfort zone of coding in JS/TS, and start picking up new language. (Rust maybe?)
Just realize I don't really know how to debug with Chrome, might spend some time to play around and learn to use Chrome for debugging.
