This is a really solid list. It illustrates concretely why I keep telling people that writing the code is the least important part of the job.
I had the strangest year this year. It hasn't been the easiest year for anyone, and I've been blessed with a healthy family, great friendships and some meaningful work. But I also stumbled on dark times, and learned some things to keep me safe.

I have bird questions for bird knowledgeable people. There are tūī in Wellington this year singing a very different song: it's just one repeated loud note followed by the usual cackling noises. I've heard it all around southern Wellington. Have I just not noticed it before?
Made a NZ COVID Pass reader app in Flutter. I won't release it to the app stores but hopefully it's useful if you want to integrate it into your own apps. github.com/mogest/nz_covid_p…

I found an interesting memory leak in Ruby strings this week. I wrote a blog post about how to reproduce the bug, explained how Ruby strings work internally, and how the fix was implemented.

I was a senior developer who was promoted to management, and I don't regret it. I love working with people and organisational systems. But we need to stop promoting all technical people out of teams and pay them what they're worth to participate in and run technical projects.
