I think it's very dangerous for managers to get too disassociated from the business that they're running. You need to be able to dive in at where and when needed but not all the time as your only mechanism of operating. So I think if you look at, again, just prioritize. Like if I do this, what value is it gonna have to the team? Just like we do with our roadmaps, that's better for the people on the team. It's gonna be better for the business than it's gonna be good for your own personal capacity to not burn out.
