Every year, my wife and me go for coffee and summarize what went well and less well in the last year and which goals we set and achieved (or missed). This is loosely based on the life frame technique outlined in Getting Results the Agile Way by Michael Kropp. This year, I made this into a proper template to have multiple years at a glance. Maybe it's useful for someone: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Cy6ALPwxF5ERrNMTm8dopM4L-ZbDf4OtZfcoE-YBf-g/edit?usp=sharing

Hey HN! I wanted to share something I built over the last few weeks: isometric.nyc is a massive isometric pixel art map of NYC, built with nano banana and coding agents. I didn't write a single line of code. Of course no-code doesn't mean no-engineering. This project took a lot more manual labor than I'd hoped! I wrote a deep dive on the workflow and some thoughts about the future of AI coding and creativity: http://cannoneyed.com/projects/isometric-nyc
