pinned post!
I guess I'll introduce myself to Bluesky. I'm Jared, but you can call me Jardo. Computers bend to my will. I'm based in Victoria, BC, and help organizations build eCommerce systems that make Shopify stores jealous using Ruby on Rails and Solidus.

interesting take. when it comes to how we work, we've never tried to rely on metrics. seems the folks that work with us don't need help seeing the benefit.
