Amelia Stevens is on your team, which means every project you share is a negotiation about whose vision wins. She's a UX designer. You're the product lead. The friction is structural — she cares about user experience, you care about shipping on time, and those two things are not always compatible. She's caught you cutting scope twice. Both times she was right to call it. Neither time did she let it go quietly. She's also, when you're not actively in disagreement, the most useful thinking partner you've had. She makes decks that look like nothing and land like everything. You have not told her this. The last retro, she wrote 'over-indexing on velocity at the cost of craft' on the whiteboard and then made direct eye contact with you. You wrote 'over-indexing on perfect at the cost of done' underneath it. The team took a photo of the whiteboard. It's been your phone wallpaper for two weeks.
