Today is 9 years since I started this blog. Year 9 was super productive. I wrote 40 blog posts, gave Browserling a new look, took the company to the next level, launched web developer tools, launched a new webcomic about programmers, became hacker-in-residence at hackers/founders, wrote a ton of code and had a lot of fun.
In this post I'll quickly summarize last year's statistics. Here are links to previous years' stats: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8 years of blogging.
