So to me, when the scores actually match the things that you're doing, then it's a healthy feedback.

And again, no one really talked about it unless you needed to talk about it.

And so I kind of leveraged it for a personal thing.

I pulled it up in the morning.

I kind of looked at my performance metrics.

And in many ways, I calibrated my strategy based on this detailed feedback that I was getting.

So I think I appreciated that level, that granularity back then because it felt like it was something that was helpful for me, not just my manager.

Google was a big one.

Like, that was definitely one.

Of course, my entrepreneurship.

And when I got to web hosting, I went to a company called Pier One.

They were spinoff of Rackspace.

And they were all about fully automated self-hosting, right?

This was back in, like, what, 2005, 6, 7?

Yeah.

This is, like, yeah, 2005, 2006.

Oh, they were already full automated.

That was their thing.

Their tagline was latency kills.

And so back then you would go online.
