Ask HN: Can you share your experience with broken analytics?
We're looking to understand people's experience with broken analytics, such as inconsistent event names for the same user actions, multiple versions of the same property, inconsistent types, forgetting to send events, etc. For example iOS sends "Order Completed" and Android sends "Buy Item". Or for example web refactors the Signup flow, and accidentally stops sending the "Signup Complete" event.
Can you please help us learn from your experience with product and user behavior analytics?
1) When did you last experience "broken analytics"?
2) How did it break?
3) How did you realize that something was broken?
4) How long until you realized it?
5) What were the consequences?
6) How did you deal with it?
7) How could you have prevented your analytics from breaking?
8) How many people work at your company?
9) What are you building?
