It seems I’ve been experiencing strange consequences of giving up on my MVP renewal, which is that I now don’t need to worry about sticking to some (real or imaginary) rules, I don’t even need to write anything here, but, somehow, that together just unlocks some of the topics I probably did not dare to… Read More »

I think I have finally made piece with the decision not to apply for my MVP renewal, but it’s still worth a bit of an explanation. It won’t be long, though. First of all, when Andrey Butenko asked if I’d be interested in being considered for an MVP award back in 2017, I thought “wow,… Read More »
