Product Picks for the Week of Dec. 31, 2023

2024 is just hours away! ?? What a whirlwind 2023 has been! As we're about to jump into 2024, I can’t help but feel a mix of excitement and a bit of nostalgia for the year we're leaving behind. This year has been incredible, not just because of all the cool stuff I've been able to experience and learn, but also because of the amazing people I've had the chance to meet in the product community around the world. It's been amazing for me personally to be able to learn from so many current and future leaders of the product world.

Of course, I need to recognize my fantastic teammates and as the team grows, it's great to be able to learn and grow while doing amazing work. Each one of you has made 2023 a year brimming with new experiences and growth and I'm truly thankful for that as well.
