Thanks, glad you liked it :-)

There's definitely a strong bias in our industry towards "greenfield" things - everyone wants to do the fun, exciting, initial work. But once the new shiny coating has worn off there's a ton of really hard work to do with resilience, robustness, scaling, etc. Too many people just give up at that point, get bored, and do something else.
