Decisions

Energy

Productivity

Summary

End of year reflection. Three new decisions stored: (1) Bounty program design - open incentives that attract behavior rather than prescribing who does what, (2) Building a culture that moves with ambiguity - enabling faster learning by protecting engineering from premature estimate accountability, (3) Jason Scott to document WareWulf/Rocky/Fuzzball integration vision for strategic discussions with Bjorn. One correction stored about incentive design philosophy.

Wins

Clear articulation of bounty/incentive philosophy. Strategic direction given to Jason Scott. Culture change principle established for moving with ambiguity.

Challenges

NARF deadline looming Monday - Trinity must deliver or contingency kicks in. Low performer accountability decisions pending.

Learnings

When Peter discusses incentives, the principle is systemic: good incentives attract desired behavior naturally. Never about forcing specific people - design structures where right behavior emerges.

Tomorrow's Focus

Holiday. Thinking through people management strategy - how to handle low performers in a way that sends clear message to rest of organization.

Decisions Made
