@kaguillera and I are doing some Sentry maintenance:

• removed the Shields project (hasn't been used for a long time) and team (had no members)
• removed @pjz from the Gratipay team
• cleared out old DSNs (I guess we'll find out if they were in use somewhere? We confirmed that gratipay.com is still reporting)

@rohitpaulk and I are the current Sentry admins:

P.S. Found a neat way to populate a clean Heroku app with the environment from defaults.env:

$ cat defaults.env | xargs -L1 heroku config:set -a my-app

Current status: feeling like we're chiseling with a screwdriver (i.e., wrong tool for the job) on 4063 4065, and are now reading "Why developers should be force-fed state machines" (h/t).

We also read "Domain Logic and SQL."
