Reflections on 2025
2025-12-31
As I reflect on the absolute chaos that is 2025, I’m a bit taken aback by how much has changed this year compared to previous years. I lost a boss I liked, a gentleman who was the best engineer on my team, whom I thought would outlast me. The world has also been more chaotic than average. On the brighter side, I’m grateful for the new friends I’ve made this year.
For my midlife crisis, I’ve taken up shooting sports. When I was a kid, I was always shooting my bb/pellet guns, bows, and arrows. Even poked a few holes with arrows in my parents' aluminum siding. For me, shooting at the range has turned the volume down on a lot of my older vices, such as gaming.
2026 will be the year of Kubernetes for me at work. Here is hoping 2026 > 2025.
