Notion is such a good example of a tool with a team that did not know when to stop and reflect, but just kept adding.

We had a brilliant drawing teacher and sculptor in university. I was very pleased with one of my drawings and kept going, adding more and more details. He suddenly stood behind me and shouted: "Stop! You are riding a dead horse here!" I had killed what was already good by not stopping. That lesson really stuck with me.

@bastianallgeier this is a huge problem in a sense for any subscription-based software. How do you justify holding a team together? How do you justify getting money every month by paying customers? I see a lot of software moving sideways these days.

@flq That's exactly the problem.

@bastianallgeier @flq that plus sales is a feedback channel. If people stop buying, you notice. If people pay a subscription and can’t just stop buying, you don’t notice when your business goes sideways until it’s way too late.
