For us Aussies, December ended in a way that changed the tone of the whole year. The Bondi Beach mass shooting targeted a Jewish celebration and killed 15 people. This one was close to home (literally), as I live a couple of beaches down from Bondi and work with some Jewish team members at SSW.

I love feedback. When you run a popular app or open source project like TinaCMS, duplicate issues are a good problem to have – it means people care enough to tell you about bugs or when they have good ideas. Teams I see at other companies see duplicates as noise, something to be swept away

Over the last 2 decades, SEO has revolved around one question: “How do I rank higher on Google?” Before Google was popular, I was briefly the No. #1 search for Google ranking because I’d written a page “Rules to Better Google Ranking”.
