So like many, I too will make resolutions for 2018. I made myself accountable by joining a recent #DevDiscuss on Twitter.
-Keep contributing to #oss but specifically I want to contribute at least one PR to @code, @typescriptlang and @brave

-Keep on blogging
-Start making codepens on Code Pen.
-Read everything I put in Pocket. https://t.co/1rmqlEttnL
-Read the @FLJSbook I bought/backed#DevDiscuss
So let’s break down the list:
- I’ve been active in OSS for the past couple of years, with most of my focus being on react-slingshot. I started contributing to this project as a way to learn React and at some point, to my surprise, I was asked to become a collaborator on the project. I really enjoy working on this project with my partners in crime.
I really love the work that I have been able to do with @housecor and @nickytonline on react-slingshot. Such a fun project and a foundational part of me learning react.

In 2018, I will keep contributing to OSS including react-slingshot, but specifically I will contribute at least one PR to Visual Studio Code, TypeScript and the Brave Browser. These are all fantastic projects that I use everyday, so it just makes sense. 2. Keep on blogging ✔ thanks to this post. 😉 3. Start making code pens on codepen.io. I’ve never made any so yolo, here we go. 4. Read everything I put in Pocket. This is a toughy, but let’s see how it goes.
Main dev New Year's resolution for 2018 is too make sure I read everything I add to @Pocket.

- Functional-Light JavaScript is supposed to be a fantastic book. Kyle Simpson is a great teacher and has plenty of books out there, i.e. YDKJS. I’m looking forward to reading this one.
Now it’s time to add a reminder in Google Inbox for the end of the year to see if I’m all talk or not. 😉 💪
