Dear Adam and Gerrit, greetings from Finland, the land of the happiest people on planet. As you might know, the reason for our happiness is just the fact that everyone must listen to the new beats, obviously.

Dear Adam and Jared, Greetings from all the way from Finland, the land of the happiest people on planet, as you might know. Just to clear the myth up front, I think the reason for our happiness is just the fact that everyone must be listening to the changelog, obviously. Or maybe it's just me and I'm weird, but honestly and sincerely, I love what you do.

I've been listening for a few years already, so I decided it's about time to give you a personal hello and some cheers. And what was the kicker for me to reach out was the very first episode of the year where you dropped in the new beats. Honestly, I was shocked and I almost had to cry. They were so good, as Adam likes to put it. So gold.

So back then in January, I also decided to see if the famous recency bias is a thing, what Jared wondered on the last state of the log. And my conclusion for the year is that if it is recency bias, I'm also susceptible to it. Or you, by chance, happen to put out the best content towards the end of the year. So who knows?

So a few highlights for me this year, in addition to the beats, were the reappearance of Cameron Say on Chainsaw Gun Friends, episode 36. By the way, I love the Chainsaw Gun Friends format. Please keep on coming. Then we got Matt Reier's Sing It If You Know It, a modern classic. Almost choked on my coffee while listening to that for the first time.

And finally, two tickets for Departure, Changelog Interviews 6.18. So thanks to you, I'm now a happy Departure Mono user on my terminal, and I'm loving it. And I could, of course, include all the Kaizen episodes, the never-ending TypeScript arm wrestles between Jared and Nick, all of Adam's home-labbing goodness, the Dan Tans, and the... Well, you get the point.
