    Interesting to get someone else's perspective on what cut backs they made and how they evaluated the decision. And always good to hear that it worked out pretty well.

    What are some shortcuts that others have made that have caused bigger problems? What are some risky shortcuts that others have made that turned out surprisingly well?

    I think what's important is looking at the tradeoffs - which shortcuts make sense and which ones don't?
