Products are built to create experiences not features!
Most software teams are not building products. They are managing the side effects of how they build them.
You've seen it. The bug that survived four sprints because nobody owned it. The week that ended with perfect alignment and a completely changed direction. The dashboard that looked green while users quietly stopped coming back.
This is the gap between how we plan and what we build. Nobody designed it. It just accumulated. That accumulation is where I find my opinions. And I write about them here - products, quality, developer behavior, and the systems teams build around themselves.
It's the patterns I keep noticing before they become "how things work here."
