Logs
This will be the last episode of Keyboard confessions series. So, in total, I posted 27 episodes of this series. This article is also 100th article on my blog as well.
Its been 2 years since I am running this series, writing about work that I do.
2025 was…. good.
Although i didn’t achieve most of my goals that I set at start, it did teach me some of the most terrible lessons about life. Something I wasn’t expected or ready for, but faced anyway. So, its kind of true that life takes exam first then the lesson. For me, 2025 was kind of failure i guess.
I made a video at start of 2025 on my YouTube channel.
In the video, I talk about what i want to acheive in 2025 as programmer. Other goals were personal so I didn’t share them.
Let’s talk about each goal that I shared there.
For Machine Learning / AI, I had the goal to deep dive into this field and get some experience. Although, throughout the year I didn’t spent too much time that I should spent. Fortunately, my fyp project is AI based, so it give me push to learn some things and get some experience.
For Game Development, I started with Blender, did some projects but lost sight there. I wanted to publish 1 game in 2025 but failed there.
I did make some of my ideas, including Fluxxion, PlanWisr, and many more that I shared on my Linkedin. Although the plan was to make digital product at end of 2025 so i would have some product running and giving something. But, only product that is currently running is Fluxxion, but it still needs work to do so it can reach to at a level.
For Deployment/Cloud, I made progress in last months. Although, I did deploy some projects earlier this year, but most of the progress were in last months. I became AWS Cloud Club Captain at UET Lahore New Campus. This gives me opportunity to get into this field, conduct some sessions on cloud for community.
UI/UX goal was optional, it was kind of side quest so I didn’t give it that much attention.
For community, I grew Fluxxion to 1500 members on WhatsApp Community, 3000 on linkedin and around 1500 members on Platform.
This was my GitHub Unwrap, a project that i created previous year, now make it for 2025.
So, in summary, 2025 was not the best year but it was good in some other ways.
It teaches how you will get to experience some things in life that you didn’t even think of. And it will try to break you in so many ways to test you out.
It teaches that despite crying alone, how you have to show up anyways because this is want life is. It will give you scenerio, slap on your face and expects to give you a lesson. You can fail, cry about it but you have to show up anyways for the next slap because that’s the only option you have.
It teaches emotion dependence is so much dangerous that you shouldn’t be dependent on someone, emotionally, financially and in every possible way.
and you have to keep going because you won’t understand your peak without experiencing your fall.
The woods are lovely, dark and deep,
But I have promises to keep,
And miles to go before I sleep,
And miles to go before I sleep.
