I was digging out an old article for a coworker and realized that it’s been over 10 years since I moved off of here and over to Quora and LinkedIn. At the time, I always assumed I’d come back here and pick up the old blog, but the world moved on. People just don’t consume dedicated blogs anymore and there are too many people trolling and working to undermine the ones who want to share and collaborate. It’s even more true now in an era of rampant nationalism and political division.

I’m pruning some of the old content and I’ll leave some of the more viewed articles up here (surprisingly, everything old is new again and I still get quite a bit of traffic here). But, if you have new questions or want to follow my content, please join me on Quora or LinkedIn. As of this post I’m up around 7M views on Quora, which is orders of magnitude more visibility that I ever had on here (even with the generous reposts and translations), so I think it was the right move. Quora has also provided me with an opportunity to pursue more of my interests and passions than would have resonated on here.

Thanks to those of you who still link to my content here and who occasionally reach out by email. I’m still floating around, but just not updating this blog anymore,
