Greg,

it's been a pleasure travelling this path with you over the last five
and a bit years, and I'm very glad you were were the one with the map
and the machete to clear the way, particularly in the early days when
there weren't as many people to help maintain the trails. You have
truly reshaped the landscape to make it accessible for everyone.

Good luck in your new role at Shopify, and I look forward to the next
time our paths cross!

Thank you!
Neil
