I had a frequent 1:30-hour train commute every couple of days to my previous role, and during that time, I learned how horrific our product was to use on a spotty connection. Made me think more about poor & unstable connections when building out new features or updating existing things in the product. Easily parsable loading states, better user-facing alerts about requests timing out, moving calculations/compute client-side where it made sense, etc.
