+# 2019 Retrospectives
+
+> Note: Didnt start monthly retros in 2019
+> 
+
+# Coding skills and career
+
+Another year past.
+
+This last year was defined by Vue and Jottivity. I spent all year building jottivity and it was eye opening experience and I certainly learnt a lot. I do question weather it was time well spent though?
+
+Kinda cool I can see my journals visulised like this : 
+
+![](retrospectives/2019%20Retrospectives%203e7f916dddee49418383ccf4f93db27d/Untitled.png)
+
+ I look at my colleague who has progressed up at work who has specialised in C# . Should I have done that? I sticking with my guns and sticking with what I enjoy. I didnt enjoy coding in c# as much as javascript. Hopefully this pays off at some point...
+
+Vue Project text book and the net Ninja yuotube tutorials helped me get up to speed with Vue and felt extremely productive.
+
+Vue , firebase and Netlify let me see wins quickly, i felt so productive working on Jottivity. Working out things as I went along got me pretty far, but there were certainly a lot of code smells which I didnt know how to fix.
+
+Creating compoments feels intuitive, but i quickly learnt that there was knack and art to creating components. Making them reusable and not just a throw away. I still havnt quite got the knack for it. but I'm conscious that i need to get better at it.
+
+It took me 3 months to learn about authentication , but also learnt about vuex in the progress thanks to open source repos from Netlify.
+
+# What didnt go well
+
+I couldnt get a new job this year and I didnt get promoted. I had interviews but my confidence i probably what let me down. I need to beleive in myself some more. Have faith I can get the job done.
+
+My mood was all over the place . I felt demotivated at work and my colleagues are just plain annoying sometimes. I know I want so much more in my career but I feel like noone is giving me a chance. In reality , I'm shooting my self down and not giving my self chance to to out there.
+
+So tired this year, felt lethargic more days then i can count
+
+# What did go well
+
+I learnt so much Vue JS! 
+
+I feel like my JS skills really leveled up. I manged to sqeeze in loads of learning about Netlify and understanding the dev enviroment they faciliate. I feel like i have really strong graps on front-end development this year. 
+
+I built the Jottivty MVP and i've been using it. LOTS! I set out to move away from Notion last year and a year on i've been using my very own built app to track my mood. So satisfying.
+
+Martial Arts, jujitusu. Met some cool people and am learning some fun stuff self defence . Its tiring, but rewarding. got my red belt and gonna get my yelow belt this year.
+
+Alans stag was a laugh
+
+my wedding planning is full flight we have venue for 2020.
+
+# What I want from 2020
+
+I really want to contribute back to open source. everything its taught me. I owe it so much. 
+
+- promote my vue-netlify-fauna open source repo
+- submit a PR to an open source project. Netlify Identity
+
+I want a new job. i said i was going to quit tfl last year. but I didnt. I dont necessary need to quit but I want a full time programming job. for the pay and the satisfaction of getting to learn and write code all day.
+
+- Get my self out there on recruitement sites
+- actually attend the interviews!
+
+Read more.
+
+- Finish 3 books!
+
+Carry on levelling up my coding skills
+
+- Learn React basics
+- learn Typescript basics
+
+# Wrap up
+
+I felt really demotivated at the end of 2019. mainly due to career stuff. but writing this out. I have a lot to celebrate and be proud of. Vuejs has been rewarding to learn and its going to set me up to learning React when I need to.
+
+I'm working on my confidence year and will push myself to go those interviews i've scared to attend last year.
