In 2023, I decided to start writing weekly notes and I ended up posting only 2. I’m hoping to do better this year, without putting too much pressure on myself either.

• 🤖 For some reasons that shall remain vague, I started playing with the Android SDK and… I don’t hate it? Jetpack Compose feels very similar to SwiftUI and the Composable Architecture, in a “I know some of these words” kind of way. I’m not throwing out my iPhone 13 mini yet, but it was a fun way to… let’s say “sate” my curiosity.
• 👨🏻‍💻 I have a job! Well, technically I’ve been contracting with them for a few months but I finally signed my full time employment agreement with the good people at Sound Games. I never really expected to work in the video games industry but after leaving Apple and resting for a bit, I felt ready to try something completely new. I’ve already learned a lot and I hope I’ll keep learning more. If you have recommendations about books, blogs, movies about the video game industry, I’m interested!
• 🏃🏻‍♂️ I officially started training for the next BMO half marathon. I was not planning on signing up but I succumbed to peer pressure. It felt really good to start running in group with the folks of the Fit First run club again. My only goal this time is to actually commit to the homework runs during the week and drink more water. I know it helps improving performances and yet…
• 🏃🏻‍♂️ Speaking of peer pressure, I decided this year to stop publicly sharing my runs on Strava. I realized that sometimes I would feel bad on “slow” runs and there is really no reasons to do that to myself.

I have a few blog post drafts that I want to wrap up, but I’m writing this note instead and there is nothing you can do about it. I even took a little bit of time to add a dedicated “notes” section in my categories page. See y’all next week, maybe?
