after the bug is fixed: write a postmortem

I created a Google Calendar event in the year 7777 CE, but the start time in the confirmation email is off by an hour from the one in the calendar. I love imagining the heavy sigh from whoever handles this bug report.

Important update: There are no signs of ruby red slippers beneath the shed. Repeat: No ruby red slippers. Alert remains high for flying monkeys.

I'm sorry, folks, but the Twitter API stopped working for this bot about a month ago, so the last percentage might forever be: ▓▓▓▓▓▓▓░░░░░░░░ 47% (It is now, in fact, 58%.)

I'll second that. I was on the phone with my boss and HR getting the news about being laid off 11 years ago when Ben happened to email his yearly check-in to see if I was interested in joining Mailchimp. Needless to say, I didn't really pay attention to the rest of that call.
