Hey, World 👋 I hope you’re all well and keeping safe. Some of you may have signed up to receive my HEY World updates, and wonder where I’ve been for the last month or so. I’ve stopped using HEY World, and been concentrating on posting to my main blog, The Dent, instead. It’s been a fairly busy month of posts for me. While the quality i...

Hey, World 👋 One of my favourite things to look at in the various newsletters that I subscribe to these days are the links people share, from articles they’d read that week.
