Setup Matters

Today we had seven bugs to triage, and in a change from recent weeks, all were new and none were carryovers from previous meetings.

Today's meeting started late, thanks mostly to a dead headset battery on my end, but was completed quickly enough that the meeting ended just about on time, in part because we had only four issues to triage.

Today's meeting was the first in its new time slot (Friday, noon Pacific Time). It might take a little while to get used to handling WiX triage simultaneously with early weekend happy hour here in the Eastern Time zone, but I, for one, intend to persevere.

Today was both Patch Tuesday and the 13th day of the month but our luck held out and today's meeting was a smoothly-running 30 minutes.

Today we had only five bugs to triage, yet the meeting still lasted a typical half-hour. That sounds familiar.

Luckily, last week's rate of incoming issues didn't continue. But we still ended up with 15 issues to triage today.
