This is night shift in mining. Go-live is busy during the day. Then it gets dark and most people go home.

When we first ran autonomous trucks on nights, I worked the first four. Not because I had all the answers. I didn't. I just didn't want the crew to feel like they'd been left to figure it out on their own.

Half the time you don't need to fix anything. You just need to be there, sleeves rolled up, when it's inconvenient.

Staying without the answers also tells the crew it's fine not to have them yet, Heather-Mae. That is what lets them speak up when something looks wrong.
