Review of the Year 2024

As I reflect on the past year, I’m reminded of the moments that shaped my growth and understanding. 2024 was a year of learning, self-discovery, and laying the foundation for the future. I’ve captured five key takeaways from the year—four lessons from 2024 and one guiding thought for 2025—that I’m excited to share.

AI and my job

“AI won’t replace programmers, but rather make it easier for programmers to replace everyone else” - Naval

Great product

A great product = passion + collaboration + exceptional skills

Mindset

“The first rule is that you can’t really know anything if you just remember isolated facts and try and bang ’em back. If the facts don’t hang together on a latticework of theory, you don’t have them in a usable form … You’ve got to hang experience on a latticework of models in your head.” - Charlie Munger

My manager

The best managers empower their teams, prioritizing support and growth over personal achievements. A leader who focuses on developing others creates a collaborative environment where everyone can succeed. This mindset has been invaluable in shaping my own leadership approach.
