Why anything less than perfect irritates me
I am a stickler for perfection, anything less than perfect irritates me and I have to do something about it.
Today was no exception, I wrote a quick management script a while back to email me with the number of people who have signed up for Tactile CRM but not logged in 24 hours after signing up so that I can follow them up (I thought this was enough time to let them get the email Tactile CRM sends if the signed up in the evening and it hadn’t arrived before they signed off).
Today was the first time that it ran with only 1 user who hadn’t logged in - imagine my horror when the email said:
There are 1 people that could do with a nudge today to remind them to login to Tactile CRM.
Urgh - quickly logging into the server, updating the script, testing it and changing my neat 4 line bash script to 6 lines and my sense of well being has been restored. It now says:
There is 1 person that could do with a nudge today to remind them to login to Tactile CRM.
It is this level of detail that goes into the products we produce and hopefully makes them run just that bit better for users.
