Throwing computers off a tall building

Jon and Justin talk about:

• A stressful Rails 6 upgrade (and how it broke the app).
• We often use data to make decisions, but we don't often examine the underlying data we're using to make decisions.
• How do we know if our marketing efforts are effective?
• "What's happened to your data since last quarter?"
• "If a billion people are listening, but not reacting, does it matter?"
