I think this quote from Futurama also applies well to software development:

> When You Do Things Right, People Won’t Be Sure You’ve Done Anything at All

Today I did multiple releases to production websites. There were no outages or downtime, or messages from clients or colleagues.

Processes were followed, and everything worked as it should. As far as everyone's concerned, everything still "just works".

So, did I do anything at all?
