Happy Pi Day! 🍕 Today, we celebrate the most deliciously irrational number in existence—π (3.14159…)—the number that just won’t quit! Kind of like your inbox on a Monday morning. In technology, we love precision, but let’s be honest—sometimes troubleshooting an issue feels just as infinite as pi itself. So today, let’s take a break, grab a slice of pie (or two… or 3.14), and reflect on the real questions: 🍕 Does pineapple belong on pizza pie? 🍕 Is there ever an acceptable reason to send an email with “per my last email” in it? 🍕 Why do we have to “restart” everything to make it work?

How much does downtime really cost your business? The numbers are staggering: 🔹 A 2017 ITIC study found that 98% of large enterprises experience downtime costs exceeding $100,000 per hour, and for 81%, that number jumps to over $300,000 per hour. 🔹 In QSR, digital downtime—like food delivery app outages—can cost individual restaurants up to $17,000 per year in lost sales. 🔹 Gartner’s widely cited estimate? Businesses lose $5,600 per minute of downtime on average. Yet many companies still rely on reactive IT support—only addressing issues after they cause disruption.
