2023 will be the Year of Relationships

I turned 25 today and like years past, I wanted to reflect on this past year and plan my theme for 2023. 2022 was a great year for me, and I’m excited to see what 2023 has in store. The Theme System

I still spend the majority of my time as an individual contributor, which is scaling very poorly.
