It’s funny how completely normal it is and feels like here but I’m sure it looks entirely barbaric to outsiders. I was in Chicago and frankly astounded with their alleys as if they’re from the future

ctrl-f "use the product" -- and haven't seen one mention of this. dogfood your product. shadow people using it if you're not the target demographic, understand it inside out, and you will catch up very quickly.

never seen it done at a large corp tbh. but maybe it's happened. i just haven't experienced it. my theory is that it would mean empowering the right leaders to make hard decisions and be more ruthless with everyone's time.
