New Year‘s (non) Resolution for 2019

Just a list of simple things that I want to do this year

In the last years, I have always made some “new year’s resolution” (here are the ones I made in 2017 and 2018), but strangely enough – at least for me – this year I can’t think of anything. More than one people asked me, but I couldn’t come up with something even remotely meaningful.

According to Wikipedia, a New Year’s resolution is “a tradition […] in which a person resolves to change an undesired trait or behaviour, to accomplish a personal goal or otherwise improve their life”. Actually, this year I can’t think of anything that I am unhappy of, and that I want to “improve”. I can’t say if it’s a good or a bad thing. This year it goes like this.

But I have a few things that I want to do, this year. They are not resolutions, just things that I enjoyed doing in 2018 and that I want to continue to do (and do more) in the next months.

How a small (in size) but great (in content and people) meetup becomes “epic”

The building blocks of the web are small components, but you need a systemic view to win his inherent complexity

(OK, un po’ melodrammatico come titolo; ma non mi viene un’altra metafora)

An open letter to a special person

Are we building the web, or digging a hole around it?

It should be easy to answer this question, right? Instead...
