I decided to do something a bit different this week and mostly just answer questions from my talk at GOTO Copenhagen last week. I wasn't actually in Denmark this time, but a heap of really good questions came through and as I started reading them, I thought "this would actually make for a really good weekly update" So here we are, and those questions then spurned on a whole heap more from the live audience too so this week's video became one large Q&A.
