"textContent": "_Work. So much work!_\n\nI just realized, on posting that bit about slices in Dorico, that I hadn’t written _anything_ in February. I missed it, but then I barely got to any of my side projects in February. Vanta’s fiscal year starts on February 1, which means a lot of other things happen then as well:\n\n * The annual Company Kick-Off is always the first week of February — this year, in Las Vegas, so I was traveling that whole first week.\n * The first quarter ramp-up into the new year’s priorities happens then.\n * This year, we had some internal leadership changes that led to a few of us spending a bunch of time on updates to our annual plans.\n\n\n\nAs a bonus, we had a long-standing developer experience challenge get much worse as we tipped over some internal scaling issues, and that in turn led to creating an entirely new project that I have been running at the same time as trying to do all of that _other_ work.\n\nThe result: a February so busy at work that I barely composed, did no public writing whatsoever, and managed — just — to hang onto my workout routine. Gladly, it seems to be slowing down a touch here in March (phew!), and I’m hoping to have more time and space and mental energy to write again more regularly.\n\n* * *\n\nThanks for reading my feed!
