Daily Reflection

What I Learned About Your Decision-Making

You apply a consistent capacity-protection heuristic: external work must grow the org, not displace existing priorities — the Google TDX funding requirement is the same logic as the Product roadmap overload pushback. You require written evidence before reversing prior decisions — Steve must quantify Jason Lewis's impact in writing, raising the bar for reconsideration without closing the door entirely. When everything is labeled priority, you force the upstream party to do the painful triage rather than letting engineering absorb the ambiguity. You separate resource types by purpose (dev builds, SRE maintains) to create clean ownership boundaries that reduce decision overhead.
