This reminds me of one of my favorite internal wiki posts at the megacorp I work at. A particularly senior engineer (who was known for being witty and quick with puns) had written an article titled something along the lines of, “How to lie with iGraph” or maybe “lies, damn lies, and operational metrics.” I don’t quite remember the title, but it was fully of hilarious and quite specific tricks relating to our internal graphing software, and it came with a ridiculous narrative written in his characteristic style. I should find that and send it to my team tomorrow. It contains great information on how to avoid making hard to read graphs, and how to spot bad ones. It also happens to be an amazing primer on some of the more advanced features of the graphing dashboard.
