Most of the users I work with, when asked why they want more than daily batches, respond with something emotional and not business value. I had a request for real-time updates for a massive metric that is based around monthly usage. Ya just

Where is the causative indicator? It could be genetics. Or maybe there are confounders - even if it is causative, perhaps it has serious negative impact on mental health.

It might be a poor business decision, but probably not for the reason most people would think. An unusual UA is unlikely to move the needle on top line metrics, but it is a distraction and a misuse of resources to play cat and mouse. (Unles

I have run a number of small and medium websites (20 users per month up to 2 million). At least 50% of the traffic I see in my logs includes some sql injection or other mass script kiddie bs.

Most people are too nice in reviews. You probably won’t get better as a result. Respect people who give it to you straight, even if it costs you the ego stroke of a promotion. Your career is a marathon, so your first performance review is l
