Ask HN: Your biggest accomplishment in 2012?
HN is full of highly accomplished people, so let's inspire and share.
This year, I learned to code. I learned Objective-C and now make a living from my iOS apps. I also traveled to Thailand for 2 months and had my first Muay Thai fight which I won a decision after 5 rounds.
- kombinatorics 14y ago2012 has been my worst year by far. I failed countless times. Hoping 2013 is better.
- coryl 14y agoYou learned a lot from your failures!
- jamesjguthrie 14y agoThis year I got married and started freelancing. Now I'm building a company around my consulting services and launching my first product. It's been a great year and I think 2013 will be even better.
- yolesaber 14y agoI finally landed a paying job (an internship, but I'm still in school) doing the thing I love: coding and problem-solving. I actually got the position through a Who's Hiring thread, which for me validates my browsing of HN heh. As for 2013, I graduate in May and am looking forward to working with startups in NYC. Hope to eventually found my own. I'm already building the first product!
- Mz 14y agoLeft my job. Crossed the country, on foot and catching rides. Returned to California. Mostly finished getting well. Made in roads into solving the big issue that I think holds back at least one of my projects.
- got2surf 14y agoAfter 3 years of having startup ideas, I finally committed and built a product (with a couple of great friends) that's ready to launch! I'm not sure when we can truly call ourselves a startup (when we exit private beta? When we incorporate? When we get funding?), but I made huge steps towards that this year and it feels awesome!
