But what good is all this data if you can’t derive real value from it? Being able to monitor and track real-time data sounds great but, in reality, that is the same as watching money pour out of your supply chain.

It’s our inherent ability to stretch 5 seconds of pain into eternity and 5 hours of fun into a single moment. Working on performance optimization, we need this weirdness of our minds more than anything else.
