My tech goals for 2026

Like many developers and tech enthusiasts, I have a long list of personal projects. Some are half-finished, some barely started, and some exist only as ideas. In 2026, I want to do a better job of finishing these - or at least getting them to a state this is good enough.

This blog is one of the steps to achieve this. I want to use it as a form of motivation and accountability for myself — a place where I document what I’m working on, what I’m learning, and, most importantly, what I actually finish. The goal isn’t perfection, but progress.

So let’s get to business and start by listing my tech goals for 2026, in no particular order:

• Post the first post on the tech blog ✅
• Replace the content in the about page with information about me
• Finish the first edition of my Ansible base setup for devices and VMs in my homelab
• Setup a new k8s cluster with Talos
• Restructure my home network, including better utilization of VLANs
• Do practical experimentation with AI
• Finalize the first edition of my neovim config
• Start using a window tiling manager

At the very least, this is a list of things I want to achieve during the year. It will also serve as the backbone for potential blog posts along the way. Hopefully, by the end of the year, I can revisit this list and check off most of the points.
