Commentary
There was a pretty nice upwards trend over the year in readership, with three key spikes:
- Lessons learned from the recent job hunt, which was popular on Hacker News
- Learning a new language, or how I gained familiarity with Go which was popular on Hacker News
- Lessons learned since posting my salary history publicly, which was popular on Hacker News
I wrote about what it's like to go viral, but that unfortunately didn't go viral 😅
Starting the year doing a lot of Java in CDDO, but then moving to Deliveroo and doing a lot of Go and OpenAPI is reflected in the top tags in the year.
