Hi Craig! I stumbled across your book & blog (I’m not sure how precisely, I meander through the internet a lot) and I wanted to thank you for both. They’re great reads and I’m appreciating them a lot.
Cheers Sean, hope you get many years’ use out of both! (Even after the 2e of the guide comes out.)
