He's my principal and he's like, this is kind of reminding me of an outage I had five years ago and he's trying to remember it and we're trying to fix it.

So these are the things I would have loved to know beforehand.

I would have loved to have known that we were going to run into these weird edge cases.

And I don't know how I would have got there, how much more time researching could we have come up with, how much more testing could we have done.

Were these things we were only going to find in prod?

Probably.

But I wish there was better, we had a better way of validating these things, like a better test suite for HP testing, better test suite for different clients.

Yeah, no, we retroed.

Like I said, we're still in process, but we do regular retros.

And that question came up.

Was this the right choice?

Should we have made a different choice?

And I said, and we all agreed this is the right choice.

There is something here that is worth testing.

It's worth using.

If we're not moving as fast as we want to and we've just introduced a new thing, we still know where we're going.

We all agreed on a roadmap.

The roadmap was just a lot longer than we thought we'd agreed upon.

But it's still worth it.

The speed increases we're seeing, they're totally worth it.
