I’ve been a little stressed out at work this week. We have a new software release going out this week and it represents a couple major firsts for me.

First, this is first project where I was the lead developer. The quality of my work is going to be on display in entirely new ways.

Second, over the past 20 years, pretty much everything I’ve worked on has only been seen by a handful of people.

What’s been gnawing at me has been the realization that the web site we’re updating this week routinely has more than 2 million page views per month.

I mentioned this to one of my co-workers this afternoon. He replied, “What do you mean 2 million? It’s more than 24 million.”

This was soon followed by the rather Hagrid-like admission, “I probably shouldn’t have told you that.”

No, that’s OK. Just so there’s no pressure or anything…
