This is a difficult question. When I've covered for Tony in a similar
position, I've felt like it is hard enough to keep an eye on our own
list let alone also finding time to review other places.

A positive note here is that nVidia is now green overall, so at least
there is some participation from the company as a whole. On the other
hand, Tony isn't in the top negatives despite performing a somewhat
similar role.

I know I was lacking myself in the last cycle due to a bunch of
unrelated work and issues. I've been working to get review back into my
daily flow.
