Agreed. I spent yesterday doing some very basic promo for my new EP and hated the entire process.

It’s sad that in today’s world, only sales and marketing seems to matter, never mind the substance of the actual work.

The graph seems to illustrate that this was also true last year. Indeed it now looks like the curves fit much more closely than you’d expect from the headlines. Quite why they expect a virus to be pinned tightly to human calendar dates is beyond me.

Technically they probably pushed code (or a config change) to prod on a Thursday night, but when it’s a service like Cloudflare, does it really matter?
