Hi, Adam and Jared. Congratulations again on another binger of a year for the changelog. For my highlights of 2024, the kind of breakdown to themes. Probably the first thing was hardware. Episode 608 for interviews with building customizable ergonomic keyboards with Everett Zuckerman of ZSA.

I thought that was really cool to hear their ethos and approach to making keyboards that last and can last for a long time. Interviews episode number 592 from Sun to Oxide with Brian Candrell was great just for the stories alone, also with what Oxide is trying to do with hardware. And then finally for hardware was interviews episode number 582, We Have a Right to Repair with Kyle Waynes.

I also say that's the most expensive episode for me personally, because it led to me buying an iFixit repair kit, and it has actually been very helpful. So thank you, Adam, for that recommendation. The next theme is languages. No shock coming from me. Interviews, episode number 611, FreeThreaded Python with my friends Pablo and Lukasz from the Core.py podcast.

It was obviously a lot of fun to hear someone else interview them for a change. And then also, Changelog and Fred's episode number 28, gradually typing Elixir, was kind of cool to hear Jose talk about how Elixir is trying to bring in typing after having seen how Python tried to pull it off. The third theme was operating systems.

Actually, in ShipIt, episode number 122 with Linux distros with Jorge Castro, it was kind of cool to hear how Universal Blue is trying to use containers to make. for instance, is a bit easier to work with from a Linux perspective.

And then it was great to hear, let's talk FreeBSD finally from Changelog interviews number 574 with Alan Jude, because FreeBSD, I don't think it's enough play in the world. Theme number four was apps with Changelog and Friends episode 35 with the Obon Pros. It was cool to hear Shannon Parker-Silbert talk about how they make Obon Pro work as a business.

And also, personally, it was kind of a fun episode because it was the first time I was out with an extended walk with my son by myself and trying to keep him calm with mom not around. And then there was also Why We Need Lady Bird, Change All Interviews, number 604, with Andreas Kling and Chris Winstroth and how trying to make a browser is extremely hard.

And then finally, the fifth theme is people, and that was... from ChangeLog Interviews, episode number 595 with Kelsey Hightower, talking retired but not tired and just hearing Kelsey seemingly having a great time, no longer being constrained by the corporate world and getting to do what he truly wants to do. Once again, congrats again for a wonderful 2024 and look forward to 2025. Bye.
