Overwhelmed a touch

[infryq]

Yesterday and Monday were both focused on trying to launch the new version of covidcast, and we’re still not there. Hoping for late this morning. Things that went wrong: the new signals weren’t in the production database, then they were there under the wrong source name, then some of them were there as work in progress signals, then we had to wait for the metadata update overnight, then it became clear that more signals had the word “wip” in them but in the wrong place, then I clobbered the metadata doing a hotfix for that because of an outdated script, then while trying to deploy the fix to the indicator code to production discovered what appeared to be a major rebase problem in the git history but after a couple hours of investigation turned out to have a fairly simple fix, then the API docs had the wrong markdown headers and didn’t show up in the public site until I fixed them, then it turned out C hadn’t fully looped in B about the deployment strategy for the new version of the site so we had an emergency meeting to get everybody on the same page and make sure we weren’t going to accidentally clobber all the public research tools. So. That was a lot.

It snowed yesterday, about 3 inches all told. Pretty, and prettier for not having to go out in it.
