| Hi Everyone We have reached the end of 2019 for this newsletter and this newsletter editor. In approximately 1 hour I will be hanging up my CTO Academy apron (we’re all issued with aprons in case any emergency baking is required at HQ) for the rest of the year. We’ve also reached edition 49 … almost one year’s worth of newsletter magic for your delectation. To wrap up we’ve decided to go all self indulgent on you and celebrate the content we’ve created during the last 12 months. Happy Christmas. Andrew Weaver CTO Academy andrew@cto.academy |
