This happened one day: we're building ️a new platform for a very successful product. The product is innovative, sophisticated and forward looking. We thought the technology supporting it should be just so. 😎

We're building it from the ground up. It's a complex system, using technologies we've never used before. It's a risky endeavor 😬, but we're all excited to tackle it 💪.

We're estimating over 18 months to get it done, but, because the project implies so many new things, the estimation is a back-of-the-envelope rough guess.

6 months into the journey, things were going as planned 🤞; then some people started asking some questions about the project.

(And by people I mean Very Important People 💎.)
