This is the second year in a row that we’ve won the Best Blog award, and there’s three sets of people I want to thank.
First, I want to thank you, dear reader, for giving us the award. We toil away over a hot keyboard to bring you all kinds of useful stuff in a humorous way. It’s great to know that you enjoy our work.
Second, I want to thank my coworkers. Whenever they finish a blog post, they send it to the rest of the team for feedback, and I learn something in every single blog post I read. This job is so much fun.
Finally, I want to thank the other Tribal Award winners and nominees. This community is so uplifting, sharing, and generous. I’m proud to be a member of the SQL Server community.
