December 11, 2018 The Top 10 Community Blog Posts from 2018
It’s been a jam packed year at Topcoder. The community blog has been hopping all year round with some amazing content. I’d like to take a minute to extend my gratitude to our dedicated team of bloggers at Topcoder.
They come up with the plan, the posts, the scheduling, etc. We wouldn’t have a great blog without our community. Special thanks to DaraK and quesks for all the behind the scenes work they do to make the blog tick.
I have loved reading all the blog posts and now as the end of the year is upon us, I wanted to highlight some of my favorite reads throughout the year. You can always read all community blog posts here. I encourage you to reach out to me directly if you ever want to contribute to the Topcoder blog. If you have a story to tell, a tip to share, or have insight in the latest trends in the industry, we want you to share.
