Description

Action items resulting from a postmortem analysis are often to implement more advanced monitoring or deploy new tools to track usage at a fine-grain level. 


Today, Timothy Raymond shows us that a good old checklist can sometimes be the most efficient way to prevent regressions in production.


Some concepts mentioned in the episode:


  • Roadblocking in advertising: when a single ad or product is displayed all over the place to capture maximum attention.

  • Beware of URL capping. As a rule of thumb, keep your URL below 2000 characters.
