    "text": "We've tried a top-downs approach, … directives from leaders to say, you must do X, Y, and Z, you must adopt. It's had some impact as we track, as you folks know. You track a metric, it's going to go up, or it's going to improve. The more successful technique that we've applied is actually just sharing wins. … as we share examples between different engineers, cool things that they've tried that have resulted in wins, adoption of that technology has erupted. … that's been the tactic that we're pushing on now is key promoters pushing techniques to their peers, because those promoters are typically engineers, and engineers trust other engineers as opposed to directors like me.",
