*Be who you really are. – If you’re lucky enough to have something that
makes you different from everybody else, don’t change. Uniqueness is
priceless. In this crazy world that’s trying to make you like everyone
else, find the courage to keep being your awesome self. And when they laugh
at you for being different, laugh back at them for being the same. It takes
a lot of courage to stand alone, but it’s worth it. Being YOU is worth it!*

How fast is your code?
3 out of 4 devs don\\\'t know how their code performs in production.
Find out how slow your code is with AppDynamics Lite.
