Thank You for Listening

There is a moment on some of my favorite albums where the music fades and the artist just talks. No bars. No polish. Just a thank you track.
That is what this note is.

We are a little over two years into Swimming with Allocators. Eighty plus conversations. Eighty-plus screenshots that will be flying by in the video you see above. And if you look closely, you may notice a running theme. At least ten episodes where I forgot we were recording video. Times when I looked tired in a very real way. And a surprising number of appearances by that gray sweater. It is not even my favorite sweater. I do not know how it ended up becoming the unofficial uniform of Season 2 and 3, but here we are.

What surprises me most is how many people told me not to do this show. They said LPs were boring. They said no one would watch long-form conversations with allocators. They said this part of the industry did not have stories worth telling.
