I’ve been coding since I was a kid and I’ve always loved computers, and I still love programming. I use to get all excited about new software and gadgets. Attending conferences and other geek gatherings used to fill me with excitement.

A while ago I had an one - on one chat with my manager. I have never been a hard working student. Since as long as I can remember I have been a practitioner of th “skippertak” (an English equivalent would be somethi like to pull all nighters as a general rule of working).

There is one thing I would like to accomplish the next year and that is to contribute more to Open Source projects. I have never been very active in contributing patches, documentation or maintaining projects.

Too many people try to change their surroundings and feel miserable while doing it. If you’re not happy with something, either suck it up or move on! There’s nothing in the human rights about the right to always feel great at work.
