List of my failures
I put down things I failed at in a chronological order. Where I know the date I'll try to put it down otherwise it's roughly categorised by year.
1. 2022
- I was rejected by a company after the interview (not necessarily a failure but putting it down anyway).
- Unit tests of a project failed a couple of times today .
- Didn't completely figure out how to do 19. Remove Nth Node From End of List
2. 2021
- I stopped my Leetcode challenge, yet again.
- I didn't finish the website project from 2020 and client left me.
- I didn't fix a product I built by the deadline.
- I accidentally leaked my own admin AWS key id and secret while experimenting with publishing in org mode. Luckily no serious loss and I was able to learn how to resolve and mitigate this.
- Almost end of the year I found out that some report I did years ago became incorrect after switching environment. Haven't been able to fix this.
- Tried to negotiate my salary with a recruiter guy but did a terrible, terrible job. Found out I got no negotiation skills so started learning some.
- I apologize to and thank the recruiters that inevitably become my practice partners.
- Broke NoTree so many times I'm not counting.
3. 2020
- I stopped my Leetcode challenge, again.
- I didn't finish a website project and client was almost leaving me.

- Didn't hear back from Divisia.
- Didn't hear back from BOQ.
- Stopped developing NoTree.
4. Further away
- Did a major fuckup and cost company around $3000. I think this was around 2018.
