I'm not sure this is the right structure for this, so before too detailed of edits I want to make sure I get that correct. Also, what do you think of this as a newsletter article?

Closes #8736

This works really well. I think we can tighten it throughout and bring the word count down. Also suggested a slight structural tweak. Bunch of comments on the draft but I reckon this would work well as a newsletter.

- **Dogfooding as a silver bullet.** Dogfooding shouldn't be the only strategy you use to develop your product. Your goal should be to build something your users want, not just yourself. To do this, talk to users, research your industry and competitors, build, get feedback, and iterate.

- **Overly dogfooding.** Dogfooding too much can slow you down. You must be comfortable with shipping features before they are fully ready. Real-world feedback is the most valuable.
