Does your company provide time to experiment and learn during working hours?

Do you take advantage of it…?

I’ve had this opportunity in the past and didn’t make the most of it…

It never felt like there was a good time to do so…

There’s always something going on…

I wasn’t confident enough to defend doing so, even though I had permission…

Maybe I didn’t quite believe it…

A feature can work perfectly and still make the product worse somewhere else.

That kept showing up during the toDō rebuild. Tasks affect reminders. Reminders affect notifications. Notifications affect what people notice, and what they miss. The system has a way of exposing assumptions once you stop looking at features in isolation.
