This is exactly what was said about Google Maps many moons ago. And look where we are now.
I resonate with this so much! Possibly the most frustrating thing about the job for me too. The company thrives on pushing boundaries, and in the process just sidelines existing products that need improvement. This "move fast and iterate" culture, which I wish was more the opposite, works for some projects but leaves others in perpetual beta. And its so hard to balance groundbreaking ideas with real-world usability. I feel you OP.
You get promoted / higher ratings based on doing something new vs improving existing.
Is that still true tho? I've been hearing so much from leadership about the desire to change that mentality.
