And here we are in 2019

2018 was crazy. I didn't get through any ML or OS classes as I hoped. But, there are many other positives.
  • I started working on a very exciting project (with a very amazing team), where I am learning a lot in security. I'm also learning about distributed systems and trying to level up my Java skills, sort of.
  • Did some reading. Finished 14 books and have started several.
  • I've never really read academic papers, but in the last few months I've read a few of them. The most recent one was, "Towards a Timely Causality Analysis for Enterprise Security" (Liu, Zhang, et. al).
This year I want to finish an intro to OS course. Again, I'm going to try "Operating Systems: From 0 to 1". Just one course. No more procrastinating.

I also want to finish the following books:
  • Influence without authority
  • Extreme ownership
  • How to win friends and influence people
  • Crucial conversations: tools for talking when stakes are high
  • The intelligent investor

I'd like to read the ACM magazine that I get in the mail, within the week I receive it. No more letting it collect dust.

I will ask more questions and not be afraid to look dumb. I will write down the stuff that I am learning. Maybe here or just in a Google document.
