Marc Amos@eric This was _really_ good.
@marcamos Ah hey, thanks for that, and for reading it.
Erik Kroes ✅@eric Tables are [expletives] indeed!
But good stuff!
Lukewarm doesn't draw attention like spicy.
Fixing things and fighting fires is more exciting than good solid work and maintenance.
My experience with this kind of work that you know what you would've liked to measure, in hindsight. You often can't go back to gather the data, that you would now appreciate.
But for whatever it's worth. I'm raising my cup of tea for your table now.
@erikKroes Cheers, and yeah, agreed. Iced coffee over here 🍻
Patrick Fulton@eric Great post, Eric. Thanks for taking the time to write it! Sharing it with the team over here.
@patrickfulton Thanks for reading it!

Carter Baxter@eric There are parallels to this everywhere, but definitely in management and technology in general. Quietly working as intended is tossed aside for bold new initiatives and disruption. We've got to find a way to put the things that simply work on a pedestal, not someone's resume-building.
Coincidentally, I just published https://another.rodeo/make-the-damn-web-sites-work/
Josh Harwood@eric great post, really resonates!
@JoshHarwood Thanks for reading it!
