Hello there,
This is a special post to say thank you for your interest in my content and for your support. You are part of a small group of just 25 subscribers.
2024 marks the beginning of an exciting new chapter, and I can’t wait to share more soon. This year, I left my job, got my European driver’s license, launched this newsletter, hiked around 684 kilometers, and brainstormed countless ideas for startups and posts. But it was only in this last week of December that I finally decided on my plans for 2025!
I’ll admit, I struggle with creating content solely to gain subscribers. I believe that anything in life is only sustainable if you genuinely enjoy what you’re doing and have fun along the way. This year, I considered creating Python or C++ courses, or perhaps sharing my experience in AI and developing algorithms for computer vision. But honestly, there’s already so much content out there, and I didn’t feel inspired to reinvent the wheel.
Reflecting on my past adventures, I realize that many of my achievements were possible because I had a real, meaningful reason behind them—something powerful that motivated me to fight for them every day. For example, I reached B1-level French in just three months because I dreamed of pursuing my PhD in France, a fresh start for my life. I learned to speak and write in English to win over the woman of my dreams, who is now my wife. This year, I was searching for something just as meaningful for this newsletter and my career—and I think I’ve found it.
In 2025, I’ll share insights on AI, software development, Python, Rust, C/C++, JavaScript, marketing, SEO, and career development. On top of that, my wife and I are learning German and aiming for C1 in 18 months—we love embracing big challenges! We’re also exploring a career shift into psychology, so stay tuned for updates on that adventure too. It’s going to be a year of growth, and I can’t wait to share it with you!
Our interactions were limited this year, but I’m excited to change that and hear your thoughts on topics you’d like us to explore together. Feel free to leave a comment and share a bit about yourself—what kind of content would be most helpful for your career and personal development?
Wishing you a big warm hug and a happy 2025!
