I resonate with this in a major way. A couple of times now we have received feedback around the product, branding etc when I've gone from not even considering any changes to the new direction being fully implemented within the product in 48H. This was unthinkable when you were part of a "machine" within a larger enterprise however nimble it may have been. The internal friction that comes up whenever you're thinking about a product change - because of the PTSD from the drawn out discussions in my prior roles - almost needs to be unlearned and coaxed out!

Feels like we’re not just building products, but also unlearning layers of corporate conditioning. And maybe, in that process, we’re slowly rebuilding ourselves too, quieter, leaner, but closer to the core.
