Once a year, a little less than 4000 Microsoft MVP's have minor breakdowns, on what some just call "F5 day" (because they are obsessively refreshing their inbox), while others barely notice something is going on until all kinds of group chats wake up from hibernation in the middle of a lazy summer. This year, this day was July 15, and I'm happy (and judging from the myriad of LinkedIn posts the lingo is "humbled and honored") to be renewed for another year. Same category, same technology area, and honestly I was a little bit surprised I got the congratulatory email and not the sad goodbye.
To those who didn't get renewed, I feel like many of you have done more in terms of contributons than me. To you: godspeed! Thank you for all the funny comments, the rants hidden behind the signed NDA, the great content you have produced and shared for free with the world and the memories over the years!
And to everyone who got the happy email: congratulations! I'm excited to see what you will share with everyone in the coming year!
Now…maybe I should stop rewriting the things I have already made, and start working on the backlog of material that is stuck in drafts…
