It’s the end of the year and it’s time for the annual year in review blog post. I know what you’re thinking, but don’t worry, you remembered to turn off the stove before leaving. You’re also probably thinking, “do we really need an end of year blog post from everyone?”. I asked on Quora, and the answer is a definitive no, we don’t.
