The Year 2022 is close to finishing; it was a fantastic year for my professional goals and family. I got 39 years old, so my focus was on investing energy in topics for my job to make my developer life easy.

I want to use this post to thank everyone around me who helped make this year amazing, got goals, and helped fight through the hard moments.
