Linear is always a lagging indicator

Not to pick on linear -- any issue tracking tool that is used instead as a visibility tool by higher-ups to get a view into what their organization is doing is also lagging. If engineers used it by themselves for themselves then of course it's useful. We don't want to work on things that are already being worked on or already done.

But something something when a measure becomes a target it ceases to be a good measure. Now engineers are thinking about tickets instead of engineering.

"KeyMe Locksmiths" places false google maps business locations around cities so that when you need a locksmith you call them and then they call a nearby locksmith who then calls you.

I found this out because my wife was locked out of our house yesterday, called me from her apple watch (which is all she had on her), and I went looking up locksmiths to help. So what's on my mind as I do this? Proximity. I don't want her to be waiting outside for hours with the dog and the baby.
