The Importance of Testing and Dogfooding for Growth
As a marketer, I didn't understand the term dogfooding at first. But after realizing the importance of testing our experiments, it became part of our practice.

Not testing our experiments earlier was a mistake that delayed our growth. However, once we implemented badges and made people want them, it became a treasure trove of opportunities. This had a positive impact on various metrics across the company, including some unexpected ones. It's important to acknowledge that a mistake can end up being a win.
