I love the stress associated with the day of a big release. You’re running around trying to sort out last minute issues, getting bugs ironed out, making sure your data is in the right place and your marketing team is anxiously waiting for the site to be live so they can start their work. It’s hectic, people are crabby, but it’s really fun.

I went through this last week with the release of couponlooker. It felt great to get it out and to take the 15 minutes to appreciate what we had been working on. Even though I knew there were issues and things we had to fix, I think it’s important to take the time to step back and celebrate the accomplishment.
