Daily Check-In with Ned1313Checking in with NedI thought I would do a check-in with myself and see how this whole Ned in the Cloud LLC endeavor is going. The short answer is that things are going well and I've got a solid plan for the next 6-9 months. Honestly, I feel like planning beyond that is almost an exercise in futility.-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/nedinthecloudWebsite: https://nedinthecloud.comPluralsight: https://app.pluralsight.com/profile/author/edward-bellavanceGitHub: https://github.com/ned13132021-08-2009 minDaily Check-In with Ned1313Plan to FailYour career is going to be a long series of failures, punctuated by occasional success.
