Ask HN: What did you accomplish in 2023?

I graduated with a Masters and then also completed 3/4 of a graduate diploma I had to do as a pre-requisite for another masters I wanted to do which I have now been accepted into (on the condition that I complete the graduate diploma).

Updated six programming ebooks, created four interactive TUI apps for exercises, wrote blog posts, recorded YouTube videos, newsletter prospered, read 100+ novels, and so on. Had a great year in terms of ebook sales despite worries over AI tools.
