## The scars of scaling

Quick story about Tim and COMC. Their admin panel bore the scars of scaling:

* Crazy permissioning complexity, with 200 daily users
    
* Longer and longer release cycles (1 week, sometimes more)
    
* An unusable Frankenstein UI that required a new hire training program
    

## Software, at the speed of business

Tim had a bold vision — when Ops asks for a tool, they get it THAT DAY. (Very bold, I know) It might not be anything more than a working prototype, but he wants their software *to move at the speed of business*.

Thanks to [one important insight](https://blog.flank.cloud/there-are-two-types-of-user-interfaces), we have built Tim a system that has…

1. … eliminated permissioning complexity
    
2. … transformed the release “process” into something as simple as sharing a Google Doc
    
3. … created a home for the long tail of random functionality. “A kitchen drawer for internal tools,” as Tim calls it.
