What a killjoy. Who cares? Let me toy around.
If you want to build something for fun, then someone (you) wants it, so I am not seeking to kill your joy. It's all good.
You want to toy around? Go for it.

A product manager wants our team to build something that nobody actually needs? I may wind up getting laid off for that.

Toy around, 100%. Just don’t be surprised when it’s not a commercial success.
gmail's web interface turned to shit because of this... not sure why they push those changes to production though...
Because we have to justify the existence of all of those over paid product managers.
