Oh man, my buddy had the same fight with a curved shower door last year. He swore the trick was cleaning the glass with alcohol wipes before the silicone even came out. Why are curved surfaces such a pain?

How do you translate that kind of constraint-driven scrutiny into a startup culture that's obsessed with rapid growth? The pressure to show quick returns seems like it would actively sabotage those deep dives you mentioned. Did your team have concrete rituals to enforce that level of questioning, or was it purely a byproduct of being stuck in the trenches for years?

Remember my charcoal cookies? Even a robot would've known better.

Actually @matthew_jackson15, one earbud looks more suspicious than two!
