Went the extra mile with content contribution
It's rare these days that I start reading a longform article that involves a lot of Deep Thoughts... and then I finish reading the article because it's fascinating. Ady's articles shine here. 

I immensely enjoy having Ady as a co-editor, because he's encouraging, warm, and considerate. So there are many, many stars I could award to him. We'll start with this one for today.
