The best people challenge bad assumption and worst bosses get mad.

Had one boss get mad that I reduced the database footprint by 94% - why? Because he wrote the initial implementation and refused to believe that his baby, which cost so much space because of how awesome it was, could fit into 5GB.

But challenging the status quo has gotten me to where I am, so I wont stop it anytime soon :)
