Lucky MVP 13

Each year since 2011, Microsoft has sent me a lovely email around this time:

I've been fortunate enough to find a passion in life that has allowed me to do what I love and make a great living out of it all whilst contributing to the community in a meaningful and impactful way. In last year's MVP announcement blog post, I talked about one of my favourite contributions of all that year being the Pwned Passwords ingestion pipeline for the FBI. This year, they sent me something nice in return:

This is so cool, thanks @FBI 😊 pic.twitter.com/aqMi3as91O

Thank you to everyone that helps me on this journey by consuming the things I create. Reading my posts, watching my videos, turning up to my talks and consuming services like HIBP and Pwned Passwords. The latter is a great example of community uptake: as of today, there were 5.12 billion requests to that service in just the last 30 days 🤯 That's amazing, thank you everyone 😊
