I think you are completely spot on!

No cuts at all, the team's all still there. I've always stayed close to the code. Partly that's because Bold.org is small enough that the line between leading and building is thin, and partly because it's how I keep myself up to date about how we can reduce complexity and make things better in the product in general. A lot of my technical work is a lot of tickets which in the past would be in the drawer. Like small bugs, architecture improvements, code debt etc. The team focused on shipping the features and new things etc.

I work remotely and i feel my hours did go up, not just my output, because the extra capacity keeps getting filled with new ideas that i can also control from my phone and keep being kinda engaged. Its not that i am required to be physically all the time on my pc more. Its that i get to be more hours engaged? does that make sense?

I agree the headcount side is the scarier part. Especially if/when we run out of ideas or experiments.

Love this, and it's the outcome I was hoping for. Did you have to deliberately cap your hours, or did it just happen? For me the cheap extra capacity always gets filled with another idea.

Hm thats great insight. My phone contributes a loit to my phychosis and bursts. I check what my sessions are doing, i spin up new ones etc. If i distance my phone at least i ll stick more to the trad 9-5 schedule.
