Some parting words

It's been a pleasure, Baltimore. It's ya boy's last newsletter. And if I leave y'all with nothing else, I'd like y'all to know data caps are most likely coming, so stay woke.

To my editors Stephen Babcock, Sameer Rao and Julie Zeglen: I've learned so much from you all.

To all the people that let me tell your stories: I've learned more than words can express although I tried (see my story below).

Again, it's been a pleasure and an honor to write for the Baltimore tech community. It's not goodbye, but see you later.

Obligatorily, let us know how much you'll miss me by replying to this email or sending a note to , anytime.
