2018 is already about 10% over. (How scary.)

Preamble#
Personally, I’ve been using my blog as a tool for technical input and output (though I haven’t been writing that much). This year, I wanted to also write about personal reflections and my own stuff. On one hand, I want to keep writing on my blog, but on the other hand, if I only write about technical things, I feel like I’ll eventually stop writing. If I write about various things instead, I have a feeling it’ll be easier to continue. Also, just like with regular diaries, rereading what I’ve written later brings small discoveries and the enjoyment of reflection, which also serves as motivation. (That said, I’m not sure how long I’ll keep it up.)
So, I’m hoping to write rough monthly reflection blogs here and there.
What I Did in January#
Here’s a chronological summary of what I did in January.
Released Git Push Hackathon#
We released a hackathon event (planned since year-end by several native engineers at the company) exclusively for students aspiring to be native engineers.
It was also listed on CyberAgent’s recruiting event page.
Git Push Hackathon | CyberAgent Inc.
(A little promotion)
The deadline is end of February, so there’s still plenty of time. It’s a fully remote hackathon where you just write code and push after entering! There are prizes too! If you’re a student aspiring to be a native engineer and interested, please apply!
End of promotion!
Gave My First Presentation at Shibuya.apk#
I presented about useful tools when reading Android SDK source code. Since it was my first presentation of 2018 and my first time presenting at Shibuya.apk, I was so nervous that I mixed up Romain Guy and Roman Nurik’s names. I’ve summarized the content in the article below.
Participated in Potatotips#
I visited Oisix Daichi’s office for the first time.
I gave an introductory LT on AutoDispose, a library, for those unfamiliar with it.
Other#
Other than that, in January I’ve been into:
Games: Shadowverse
Anime: Yuru Camp \ (´∀｀) /
In Closing#
Right now, I’m working on preparing materials for DroidKaigi. I had originally expected to finish much earlier and do countless rehearsals, but…
I’ll be giving a presentation in English on February 11-12 at 11:20-11:50, talking about Flux.
I plan to release the presentation materials and content once the materials are nearly complete (probably today…), so if you’re interested in the materials or presentation content, I’d be happy if you came to listen even just a bit on the day!
That’s all!
January’s been tough~
