Good people, interesting work, moving too fast
Dash is an interesting new product.
People are generally good and helpful.
The product is trying to do too much, too fast.
Engineering shortcuts to support this are biting us.
We're being asked to work nights and weekends.
Trim down scope, stop unrealistic deadlines, respect holidays. Don't reward "hero" culture; reward good planning and execution that don't require engineers to work long hours.
