52 things I learned in 2018
Inspired by Tom Whitwell annual collection of things learned, here are my ’52 things I learned in 2018′.
No explanation or context of what it is about the article I learned, just a title and link of something that was important to me personally or professionally in 2018.
I’ve also removed any of the tracking text from the links (eg “?utm=share…” stuff). You know, for best practice and the like.
