“there’s this cathartic moment where pressure is relieved and we are suddenly able to reason more broadly, or in a breadth-first way”

Liked the expression :) You should be a writer publishing books.

Couldn’t agree more with this paragraph:

Often when we write emails—especially critical ones where pressure is involved—we get into a very focused, depth-first mode of reasoning. This makes it hard to see mistakes that would otherwise be obvious

Whenever I think of defifiencies turned into features, I can’t help but bring up iPod shuffle. While mostly a marketing move, it renders the deficiency (can’t easily control what song will come next) into an selling point (“Life is random”).

This turns a bug into a feature. Gmail is slow to send email due to performance issue, this deficiency allows for this “feature”.
