Technical skills:

- Launch my own hand-rolled paper trading solution by mid to late 2026. I want to focus on strategies that prevents heavy losses, rather than actively looking for profits. If I succeed, go live in 2027.

- I hope to complete 3 semesters with a B or above in the ongoing Online Masters Degree program I've enrolled for.

- Do more coding with AI.

- Be prepared for job interviews - even though I have no plans to change jobs. This year my rustiness and lack of interview readiness has cost me "dream jobs" (from my POV)

Non-technical skills:

- The usual. Lose weight, eat mindfully, gain strength, learn the language of my country.



I find it difficult to read "hand-rolled paper trading solution" without thinking toilet paper. "focus on strategies that prevents heavy losses"

I donno, I think I kind of like somebody else's skill objective about trying out shitposting. It's the age deucine (credit @naasking).


One possible route towards reducing heavy losses might be to minimise correlation. AI might be quite good at optimising for this.
