Recap for 2016

MacOS Sierra massive slowdown in Java networking
I upgraded to MacOS Sierra, and have really been enjoying the shared clipboard. I haven’t really noticed any other new features that impact my day to day development, however I would advise Java developers to avoid it for the near future.

I am on a new project at work that looks to be very interesting. I am redesigning our Cassandra layer.
