In response to this post@mattblaze This is such a beautiful way to think about it. I've become more and more interested in photographing construction sites, seeing how things are actually built from the ground up and the construction workers who bring these projects to life and often go unacknowledged

In response to this post@mattblaze Back when I was working on Google Cloud, I had this hanging on the wall next to my desk.
(Although ironically, one of the team's catchphrases was "NO HEROICS." Not because they aren't sometimes necessary, but because they're by definition unsustainable; if the system requires perpetual heroics to maintain, it's in need of rearchitecting so it works right whether or not Wonder Woman is holding it!).
