My team lead philosophy: engineers that score successes continue to be successful. There will always be a backlog of tickets, and you can't hit inbox zero. But you can hack it. Executives need to increase the Average Sales Price (ASP)

My first inclinations are that Apple and Google should be in these committee meetings. 77% of Americans own smartphones [1]. 99.6% of new smartphones run Android or iOS [2]. I would love for my iPhone to generate a private/public key p
