I didn&amp;rsquo;t build our team around a manifesto but around a shared mission. We started with customer problems and pushed to deliver robust solutions quickly without breaking things (too badly).&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>On Data Quality</title><link>https://www.ericsimmerman.com/blog/2022/02/01/on-data-quality/</link><pubDate>Tue, 01 Feb 2022 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>https://www.ericsimmerman.com/blog/2022/02/01/on-data-quality/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;At &lt;a href="https://www.interos.ai/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreffer "&gt;Interos&lt;/a&gt;, my team built a platform for assembling and maintaining the world&amp;rsquo;s business supply chains.

That required a lot of data.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Social Tables Retrospective</title><link>https://www.ericsimmerman.com/blog/2017/01/23/social-tables-retrospective/</link><pubDate>Mon, 23 Jan 2017 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>https://www.ericsimmerman.com/blog/2017/01/23/social-tables-retrospective/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;My last post was over a year and a half ago - just after I joined an interesting &lt;a href="https://www.bvp.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreffer "&gt;Bessemer Ventures&lt;/a&gt; backed firm in the Hospitality sector called &lt;a href="https://www.socialtables.com" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreffer "&gt;Social Tables&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br&gt;
My role here has been 95% people / 5% tech and always intense. I&amp;rsquo;m retroactively posting some of the internal content I circulated as the technology leader at Social Tables - mostly high-level explanations of what my team was up to at the time.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
