## Source excerpt

My year in review - 2015 Github Talks Nov 2015 - Evolution > Revolution - how should microservices be built? Sep 2015 - Elixir + Phoenix Jun 2015 - ZeroMQ in Node.js Apr 2015 - Erlang Ecosystem (PL) Feb 2015 - Elixir Feb 2015 - ClojureScript + Om = ♥ Details: My Talks Meetups Two meet-up groups created and continued in 2015: NodeSchool Silesia Silesian BEAMers Blog Most viewed blog posts by me Books List of book which I've read in 2015 and reading challenge. Favorite technical book of 2015 Pragmatic Thinking and Learning: Refactor Your Wetware - blog post about it Number of books read 20 Programming Favorite programming languages (or related) I've hacked on/with this year Languages with pet projects: Erlang #1, Erlang #2, Elixir #1, Elixir #2 ClojureScript Programming languages used for work-related projects this year JavaScript - ES 5 (Node.js, Front-End), JavaScript - ES6 (Front-End), Java, C, Ruby, Python, Bash Programming languages that I hope to explore next year Idris, Rust, Prolog Plans for 2016 Apply 100:10:1 rule to my open source work. Proceed with cost-benefit analysis and focus on monetization in terms of open source work. Try to kick-off another meet up in Silesia region - Papers We Love. Learning (even more than previously) about theory and how to design distributed and real-time systems. Focus on doing interactive blog posts and higher quality (premium?) materials. Push even harder work related with quality and visibility of blog posts. Take more time to discover new music. Happy New Year! :wink:
