I have been sitting on this article since January. I have mulled over various ways I could start it multiple times. Maybe I will start with some puns…or a secret message hidden in the first paragraph…or with something like “Four score and seven articles ago…”, but alas, perhaps it is just best if I just cut straight to the chase.
Unfortunately, this will likely be last ever article for Hammer & Rails. There is a chance I could pinch hit when needed in the future, but my tenure as a writer and manager for the site will end today.
