Earlier this year, I publicly committed to the #100DaysOfCode challenge on twitter. I discovered two things:

• setting goals can really boost your productivity as a developer
• publicly committing to them gives you some accountability and pushes you to deliver

I'm looking to set some long term goals now. I realised I'm being sidetracked by all the different technologies coming out and I really want to settle down and focus on one thing. I believe setting a definite goal will help me achieve that. I know goals are personal and unique, but I'm sure I can get some inspiration from someone.

What are your goals as a developer and why?
