Phew so work had some _changes_ this year. At the end of 2021, I decided to leave Netlify, mostly due to burnout and wanting to explore tech education more. Phew so work had some _changes_ this year. At the end of 2021, I decided to leave Netlify, mostly due to burnout and wanting to explore tech education more.
And so, at the start of this year, I ended up joining [Remote](https://remote.com/) as the Developer Education and Experience to do that for realzies. And you know, on paper, that role was pretty perfect. I had a ton of autonomy, I had kind coworkers, and I had time to spare to work on side projects that had been sorely neglected. I genuinely enjoyed hanging out with a lot of the folks there, but at the same time... I was kind of on an island. A lot of the work I was able to accomplish and put out in the world (like [Remote Connect](https://remote.com/events/on-demand/source-code) and [Devs For Ukraine](https://www.devsforukraine.io/) and [the engineering blog](https://remote.com/blog/category/engineering)) was reliant on me getting busy people to work with me on something "extra" outside of their day jobs.

When people inevitably had to put off the "extra" (particularly as the economy started to buckle a bit), I was very... bored. I would still work— I'd always figure out how to fill in the time with something— but I was very regularly faced with, "this is awesome Cassidy, perhaps we can do this someday," and I was getting impatient with it. I job interviewed a few times, without ever really finding a good fit. I acknowledge I am wildly privileged to be able to have had this experience, and I'm grateful for it, but that's what was going on!

Code-wise, I rewrote the website for [Cosynd](https://cosynd.com/) (this is a project I've been working on for more than 6 years now), I started updating [todometer](https://cassidoo.github.io/todometer/), and I built some random demos [on my regular livestream](http://twitch.tv/cassidoo), too (like [Better Security Questions](https://github.com/cassidoo/better-security-questions) and [a pi memorization game](https://github.com/cassidoo/solid-pi-guesser) and various open source contributions).

Keyboard-wise, I finally (finally!) got [DSA Scrabble keycaps](https://www.clackeys.com/scrabble) to go live!! I first designed those back in 2017, released V1 in early 2018, and I've been wanting to bring them back ever since. It was a labor of love to get everything re-designed with the new branding and licensing, but it happened! I also shipped [a free email course](https://www.keyboardlegend.dev/) to teach people about mechanical keyboards in general.
Also, not really a side project but something I'm happy with, I read 10 books this year! It's not a lot by any means, but I've been wanting to build my reading habit back, and it's a start. Similarly (kind of), I've been playing a lot more [go](https://online-go.com/) recently, and I do think I'm getting better, and hope to hit some goal rankings next year.
