Bye to 2025 and welcome 2026

Jotted down a quick note as we wrapped up 2025 and welcoming 2026

Discovering new kind of love:  had chances to enjoy two of my favorite activities at the same time: coding and teaching. Taught my 6-year-old boy to vibe-code his own games and program his robots. Fun watching him enjoy technology.

Pushing limits: had a new high score: 2,100 calories in a single training session (oh dear, for next two days, imagine the muscle sore). Supported my wife in a half-marathon – she’s training for a full one. Beside, she got her 200th gym sessions bragging rights. I hope I’ll get mine soon.

Building at the speed of light:  2025 was the year of AI, for sure. Felt great to build the next big thing on the AWS platform with tons of GenAI/agentic AI options. The cost of prototyping became negligible, and the cycle from Idea -> Build -> Launch totally fastened. Truly amazing!

Also, thinking of moving my AI lab to the garage, it generated too much heat.

Wrapping Up: 2025 was great. The next year is about setting bigger goals and pushing the limits again. Exciting time!Happy New Year 2026
