What are we working on?
The team reflected on 2022 and established goals for the new year using their preferred OKR framework. They analyzed quarterly performance, identified obstacles, and planned improvements as a small team.
The team emphasizes that "reflecting and measuring the progress is as important as planning." They implement weekly performance reviews to track progress and conduct comprehensive quarterly assessments, making it easier to identify root causes and implement improvements.
Crypto update
The team notes that while crypto experiences volatility, the focus should remain on long-term potential. They highlight that "a growing community of developers is joining the Web3 movement" as a positive indicator for 2023.
They reference Electric Capital's Developer Report, which analyzed 250 million code commits. Despite 2022's challenges, the team remains optimistic about Web3 education and their upcoming video courses.
Traveling Update
The team is currently in Kota Kinabalu, Sabah, Malaysia on the island of Borneo, planning to stay for a month. The location serves as a gateway to Mount Kinabalu, Southeast Asia's highest mountain.
They recently took a weekend trip to Brunei, visiting Bandar Seri Begawan. They explored mosques, traditional markets, and experienced a jungle boat tour where they spotted Proboscis monkeys and visited Kampong Ayer, described as "the world's biggest settlement on stilts been in existence for more than a thousand years."
Something to think about
The team references James Clear's perspective: "if you never question things, your life ends up being limited by other people's imaginations."
A question to ask yourself
