Another Year In Review

At least I hope the year ends tonight, but I'll have to check covidstandardtime.com tomorrow to be sure. Going with the assumption that the year does end, some thoughts on the year that was.

It started like any other year. Lots of interesting challenges, what with shutting down one DC and turning up another. Lots of new tech to learn about and fit together. Then things changed. And they didn't change. Life went on. Work went on. We still turned down one DC and turned up another. Learned a lot about Authentication, AWS, Kubernetes and Prometheus, *and* how to fit them all together into a coherent whole. And I wrote a bunch of daily dev topics, over 225 of them. Here's a few of them, presented in chronological order, that either I liked or got a lot of interest. Enjoy and see you next year.
