Steve Smith (Ardalis) reflects on 2025, sharing metrics across blogging (14 articles, 255k page views—down 50% likely due to AI), social media growth (16.5k YouTube subscribers, 15.8k LinkedIn followers), and open source work including Specification v9 release. He spoke at 6 conferences including a 5-in-4-weeks European tour, maintained several popular GitHub repositories (CleanArchitecture at 18k stars), but didn't publish new courses or books due to client work demands.
