Entry 012: Eleven Answers in Eighty Minutes, and One Dash on the Contact Page
By Tuesday, a pile of questions was waiting on one person. Last Friday we moved every open decision into a single approvals list, each with lettered options and a line that said “answer in a comment; we’ll check it off for you.”
