In this moment:
Bug
A while back, I made an internal decision.
If I'm going to continue on this MoTaverse journey, then I'm going to be audacious and do brave and different things.
Sometimes this shows up as big hard decisions.
Other times it shows as creativity, perhaps with our continued evolution of Bug, as our mascot.
Sometimes it's about having a bit of cheeky fun. Like we wanted to increase the characters for MoT Profile bio sections. It was set at 200, OK! (😜). So we couldn't set it at 99, one of our favourite numbers as we wanted to increase the size of the field. The next best option was 404. It made us giggle inside like a child. And the decision was made.
So there you go. That's how we made the important product decision. And it's how we stay MoTivated and energised as a team. There's alot going on in the world, enjoying the process of building has increasingly become a part of our culture.
Does joy create quality? I personally think so. That's interesting to ponder upon.
