I have about six or seven backlogs full of tech debt, bugs, and other various enhancements that every team _wants_ to do, but we either don’t have the bandwidth or know-how to do right now.

I spend a lot of time at my org doing one of the following things:

1. figuring out how to onboard engineers and bootstrap them to do their own work to draw down their backlogs

2. show the team cool ideas to spark their interest or bring them from “I’m never using this useless crap AI” to “oh, wow, I never thought of that… fires up a terminal and creates own cool thing”

3. creating a backlog of other things people want to automate but never wrote down/thought through that Claude can do in short order for immediate value
