Hey Rohan!

I’ve often experienced people thinking that simply adding more makes something better, solving more problems.

Usually I find that, after identifying the right problem, the real beauty is to solve the problem as simply and with as much focus as possible.

What tools do you use to help convince others that you’re solving the right problem?

Great point, Rasmus. It’s often hard to align perspectives because the immediate benefits of a decision are easy to see, while the long-term downsides—like maintenance or reduced flexibility—feel less tangible.

To make this clear, I try to frame decisions around how they serve the bigger picture: Will this choice make it harder for them—or us—to adapt and grow in the future? Connecting the dots between today’s actions and tomorrow’s impact often helps align everyone around the right priorities. Thanks for sparking this!

Hi Rohan

I love how you reframed friction as a gift.

Most people avoid it, but not me lol

Sometimes, progress means having the courage to step back and ask uncomfortable questions.

Thanks, Neela—I love how you embrace friction. It often highlights the deeper work that needs attention, even when it’s uncomfortable.

Progress usually means pushing through short-term discomfort to create lasting value. Asking tough questions now ensures our decisions stand the test of time. Appreciate your perspective!
