That's interesting - will check it out in 2017. I got rid off a lot as well, but now that the dust has settled down, I am finding it increasingly hard to remember to not accumulate. It's a constant battle in this on-your-face adve

What motivated your transition from Dev to Product manager? I am looking to make a similar switch, would it be okay to reach out to you for guidance? Advice on the transition would be incredibly useful! Cheers!
