🔄 Didn't Move

Stalled DRI items (top_priority/active/inbox, no activity 7+ days, not yet due):

Older backlog (likely STALLED — assess for closure):

  • Many quick_wins/do_later/hack_days items untouched since Feb 2026 or earlier. Candidate for a backlog grooming pass.

Delegated tasks badly overdue (assignee hasn't shipped):


🔗 Open Loops Carrying Forward

Ship Review in progress:

Postmortems not yet written:

Delegated follow-ups needed:

  • Deepankar (Login autofill — Nov 2025): nudge or close as STALLED.
  • Anh Do (assertionFailure DBP — Dec 2025): nudge or close as STALLED.
  • Jake Abel (Privacy Triage — overdue 1 week): direct ping needed; this is blocking the experiment ship path.

PFRs: None open in window.


📅 Next Week Setup

TP Suggestion: Continue with iOS Address onboarding conflicts with unified input and ship AI onboarding winner.

  • Reasoning: This is the active TP, set May 22, with a 2-week window targeted that closes ~Jun 5. 4 sub-tasks in flight, 2 PRs already up, kick-off done. Two of the 0.5d sub-tasks are due May 29 (today) and need to either land or carry to Monday. Most urgent: route the Treatment B Ship Review (Alessandro's flag from this morning) so the experiment can ship before WWDC AFK starts Jun 8.

Rotation: None starting next week. macOS Weekly Maintenance DRI just completed May 22; next rotation per schedule TBD — no immediate action.

OOO / coverage:

  • Alex: Partly AFK Jun 812 (WWDC'26) — one week away. Prep needed:
    • Land or hand off the 4 TP sub-tasks (Treatment B ship, back button, free plan hide, stop chat button) before Jun 8.
    • Confirm coverage for Crash Reporting secondary AOR during WWDC week.
    • Brief Alessandro / Costas / Pete on UTI project status before AFK.
  • No close collaborators flagged as OOO next week.

1:1 with Dominik (Career Advisor):

  • Dominik :: Alex Regular 1:1 Agenda — last cycle was May 26. Build agenda for the upcoming 1:1.
  • Items to bring:
    • Wins: iOS Toggle Project shipped + postmortem closed; new TP kicked off cleanly; Discord incident wrapped.
    • Heads-up: Treatment B Ship Review just got flagged Friday — may compress timeline against WWDC AFK.
    • Open question: EP2/EP3 calibration items have been idle since early May — confirm timing.

🏆 Wins

  1. Shipped the iOS Toggle Screen project end-to-end this week — A/B/N experiment concluded, winner selected, postmortem written and approved by Costas and Alessandro. Clean close.
  2. Closed out the Discord AI Agent security incident — both the Full Analysis and Incident Postmortem landed by May 28, with explicit thanks from Jonathan Jackson and Jeanna for the thoroughness. GDPR follow-up scheduled, action items captured.
  3. New TP kicked off without frictionUTI + AI onboarding winner project went from assignment → scoping → async kick-off (Alessandro's request, slots full) → 2 PRs up, all in one week. Strong start against a 2-week window.
