Rarely is anyone thanked for the work they did to prevent the disaster that didn't happen.

@programming_quotes True story: I was in a class with a bunch of other #railroad track inspectors, and during a bit of a break from normal, dry book material, the instructor asked for a show of hands from everyone who felt like they had found something during one of their routine inspections that had prevented a train derailment.

The only guy who didn’t raise his hand was the guy who had only been on the job for two weeks. Everyone else’s hands were up. Think about that.
