“Don’t just look at best practices… check your gut, do the research. If you got a good idea that you don’t see anyone else doing, that doesn’t mean it’s wrong… Don’t be afraid just because it hasn’t been tried before - to speak up, ask about it, and try it. It might be something helpful for you, for your boss, for your community.” - Steve Lovig
