“It’s So Dumb…”
A sacred ritual that XBE uses to get better —and at Horizon, our community joined in.
6
DUMB THINGS FIXED IN 24 HOURS
We put the software on trial, never the people who built it, and invited everyone to finish the sentence: “It’s so dumb that…” Humor made honest feedback easy. Together, we identified 24 things worth fixing, and within 24 hours, the team had shipped six improvements.
Now you can bring the ritual to your own team. Explore the host’s guide, scripts, prompts, and tools to question what you’ve built—and make it better.
