"Wait, you guys get my memes?"
It sounds trivial, but it matters. Communication friction kills projects. Because Kosovo was heavily influenced by the US and UK post-1999, our workforce grew up consuming Western media. Netflix, HBO, Reddit, and Twitter are our native tongue. You don't need a "cultural translator" middle-manager. You just talk to your team.

We need to pivot the auth flow. It feels a bit clunky. Can we do something like what Linear does?
Totally. Magic links with a fallback code? I actually implemented that on a side project last weekend. I can spin up a PR by EOD.
