The annual retrospective post that started in 2020 lives on for another year. Publishing right at the end of January 2025, I'd like to say it was a strategic move to avoid all the other 2024 reviews, but alas, I've just been a little slow to actually publish it.

If you are at all involved in writing software I would highly recommend watching the film Aardvark'd: 12 Weeks With Geeks. It's a documentary filmed in 2005 following four interns at Fog Creek Software, in NYC.
This is the third year in a row I've put together a sort of annual retrospective, mostly focussing on software dev but also some other related bits that I think readers might find interesting.
