Summary

Active day driving two major priorities: CVE remediation strategy and H1 planning. Established eventually consistent model for CVE patching with Max, set NARF Friday launch as forcing function to drive Nathan team adoption. Clarified product-engineering estimation process expectations with Justin. Deferred Fuzzball SaaS decision pending Chris/Jonathan alignment. Identified need for clear RESF management model.

Wins

Got alignment with Max on CVE strategy that unblocks massive backlog. Set clear forcing function (NARF launch Friday) with accountability deadline. Successfully balanced Justin concern about commitments with Product need for estimates.

Challenges

Nathan team adoption of NARF tooling remains the critical blocker - requires direct intervention tomorrow. RESF governance issues continue to surface interpersonal conflicts.

Learnings

The eventually consistent framing from distributed systems applies well to CVE patching tradeoffs - accept small error rate for massive velocity gain.

Tomorrow's Focus

Finalizing H1 planning and moving CVE remediation forward
