Reality
Positive feedback feels like proof.
Hard Truth
Clients loving a dashboard doesn’t mean:
Cognitive load is optimized
Interaction is scalable
The system won’t collapse at scale
They judge based on relief, not refinement.
Senior Move
Don’t use praise as a quality metric.
Use it as a value signal.
Today’s Action

“What would break if this product doubled in complexity?”
