The most painful thing I saw when I first joined CCP Games, the team would say, ‘We released today, and it didn’t explode.’ I would ask, ‘Okay, but how is everything performing?’ And the reply was, ‘Well, we won’t know until tomorrow.’

My response was, ‘I’m sorry. What?!’ Now, Honeycomb helps us with the forensics, when we want to know real-time what’s happening with the release and be able to see how everything is performing.
