Here are my goals for 2017:
- 10 seconds Free-standing Handstand: Practice 6-7 days a week, for twenty minutes, following the GMB Handstand progressions.
- 10 seconds advanced tuck back-lever on the gymnastics rings: Practice 3-4x week, following FitnessFAQs progressions.
- Bulgarian split squats, 4x12 50kg: I'll go with a somewhat linear progression -- work from 3x8 up to 4x12. When I do 3 workouts using 4x12, I'll up the weight by 2-4kg and start a new cycle.
- Books I'll read:
1. Gödel, Escher, Bach
2. Black Swan
3. The Society of Mind
4. Code complete (I'll read a chapter every week)
- Finally learn about compilers/interpreters:
1. Work through "Writing an interpreter in Go"
2. Work through "Language Implementation Patterns"
4. Work through "Engineering a Compiler book"
5. Do the Kaleidoscope LLVM tutorial in OCaml
- Get good at algorithms to have a better chance at landing a job in one of the the big 4:
1. Work through HackerRank's Cracking the Coding Interview track: I'll do 3 challenges every day until I am finished.
2. Solve as many problems from LeetCode [1] as I can: I'll solve 2 problems every day.
3. Work through the "Algorithm Design Manual book"
- Really learn Java. Java 8 looks interesting and I see there are a lot of job opportunities for Java devs.
Looks like a plan!

- gcav 10y agoI think learning the handstand is a great idea. For me, handstands helped relieve a ton of shoulder pain I had from football + too many bench/bicep workouts. It also just looks super cool to boot and you can do them anywhere. Best of luck
- snowcrshd 10y agoHahah, thanks! I'm currently working on wall leg flutters. My balance improved a lot after I increase training frequency to 5-6 days a week (in comparison to 3x).
- joe563323 10y agoSICP might interest you.
- snowcrshd 10y agoI'm considering it in place of "Engineering a Compiler". I'm not sure I'd be able to handle both books in a single year, though :(
- leekh 10y agoDamn this is just like mine. Good luck!
- snowcrshd 10y agoAwesome! Good luck to you too.
