Raw Blame History

Daily Brief — 2026-06-01

✨ Morning

On this day in 1869, Thomas Edison received his very first patent — for an electric vote recorder. He pitched it to the U.S. Congress, who refused to buy it on the grounds that it counted votes too fast. Edison reportedly took the lesson to heart and resolved to only invent things people actually wanted. 137 years and 1,092 patents later, that worked out. 🌿 Step outside for 5 minutes before opening Slack.

Plan for Today

  1. ⚡ Desktop Browser Feature Owner Survey — 5-min anonymous timebox, 6d overdue. Momentum starter.
  2. 🔴 Reply to Costas on Address onboarding conflicts — confirm iPhone-only scope (he's been waiting since May/29).
  3. 🔴 Reply to Alessandro on Ship AI onboarding winner (Treatment B) — release/hold decision; Costas re-pinged Friday.
  4. 🔴 Land approved iOS PRs and close tasks: Hide Free plan • Upgrade (#5149 ✅✅) and Hide "stop chat" button (#5173 ✅✅).
  5. Start TP implementation: Persist 'You've got this' dialogue [2d] — due today, 2-day estimate, finish Tue.
  6. O-L Weekly Meeting (1215106190309457) — standing.
  7. Verify CI on main: PR Check is failing on main — Sam S's fix PR ran overnight; sibling task closed 2026-05-31 21:49, so likely green. Spot-check and close.
  8. PR review batch: 8 review requests + 5 mentions queued — handle after TP block (see Needs Action).

Today's focus per weekly plan: Ramp + start TP. New signals since yesterday: 1 new comment (Sam S on a now-closed sibling CI task), 8 task changes, 1-Must already set at 09:27 ✅.
