I’m so glad to be reminded of the pure joy of publishing a blog post by Matt. At the age when AI tools can be used to mass produce SEO content to hijack competitor traffic, it’s wise to come back to basics.

My ability to sometimes publish a post like this. Just as a token of appreciation for all other bloggers who inspired me over the decades.

Enjoy the rollercoaster of 2024 everyone!
