Best of 2012

It has been another great year blogging, and I am deeply grateful for everyone who chose to spend some time with the words I put out, and even more so for those who started a conversation, either in the comments, or on their own online spaces.

In terms of hard-nosed numbers, the key statistic I’m pleased about is that RSS subscribers grew 3.3X over the course of this year.

These were the most popular posts of the year:

• Productivity Porn
• What is life like for PhDs in Computer Science who go into industry?
• Why you would want to program at fifty, or any other age
• Advice to prospective grad students
• English is heavily left-handed
• Teaching data structures with real-world examples
• My setup
• New frontiers in text editing
