But as a release manager, you have to wear a different hat. Now, a couple of days before the release, is not a good time to introduce a major UI change. That needs to be done at the beginning of a release cycle, not at the end of it.</div>

<div><br></div><div>This is why I used my higher bike-gear analogy yesterday. Because when I see others working in demo videos and in person, I notice a kind of "freneticism" about their mousing and clicking (like trying to go fast on a bike in 1st gear). Hyper-clicking around. Doing tons of input work while the machine sits there as if basking on the beach.</div>
