To mark the end of the year, here's a list of my favorite articles of 2016. (These were featured in 2016, but not necessarily written in 2016.) There's no particular order and I assure you that every link is worth reading. Add them to Instapaper and tackle at your leisure.
Thanks for your part in making 2016 a great year. I'm incredibly optimistic about 2017 and really looking forward to continuing this journey together. Take care and see you in the New Year!
