It just keeps getting better -- the more I tell it it's wrong and to keep trying, the more confident it gets with each subsequent (wrong) guess 😂 Delightful.

This is my favourite part of living in the Maritimes. Where else on the entire planet can you get a beach like this all to yourself on a sunny day?

I think a lot about this.. this arrow is fraught with obstacles and unreasonably expensive. I want to make this path easier to travel for smaller orgs -- not everyone needs to spend $10ks on massively over-engineered data engineering/warehousing/analytics solutions. There can be a simpler way.

Bittersweet posting my last long-term funding update for Clojurists together. That wraps up easily the coolest year of my career so far. It's been so much fun! But I'm also excited for the next chapter. Onward!
