Happy new year everyone! Hope 2020, and the new decade, is kinder to you than this one 🙌🏼

I haven't yet gotten around to writing my 2019 In Review post (and may not until the weekend) but I don't think it's going to be as long as 2017's. I quite like Max's format to keep it short https://mxb.dev/blog/year-in-review-2019/

Real shame to see that @Meetup are further restricting their platform by locking down API access - maybe document this better before going through the process to register?

Thank you for submitting an application to access Meetup’s API and authenticate with OAuth2. This process provides a better and more secure experience for all Meetup members. Your request for API Access through OAuth has been denied. In order to be eligible for API access through OAuth you need to have a Meetup Pro Account.

Glad to hear it! I've been toying with the idea for a few years but have never found the guts to do it

In 2018 I wrote 60 posts (92k words) but in 2019 I wrote 159 posts (107k words). Of those, 41 and 73 posts respectively were under the term "Blogumentation" https://www.jvt.me/posts/2017/06/25/blogumentation/ which I am a huge fan of.

Don't write for anyone else - just yourself!

I mean, I said that an hour or so ago, but that was before the site had deployed... Turns out https://www.jvt.me/posts/2019/11/11/gotcha-netlify-lowercase/ caught me out again and isn't fixed until https://gitlab.com/jamietanna/jvt.me/merge_requests/638 is in (although I've done a temporary deploy from my local machine to get the site up).

Very annoying!
