About this Episode
Ben and Brian ring in the new year (a little late) by discussing how they approach new year's resolutions and how they might apply that kind of goal making to their professional ambitions. Brian suggests breaking up your yearly goals into more digestible pieces and attacking them iteratively rather than all at once (sound familiar?). They end by discussing some sensible ways to track the progress of their (and your) coding projects to stay accountable.
