Unpopular opinion incoming. Everyone seems enthusiastic about this. That's exactly when someone should pump the brakes.

Here's what bugs me about the consensus: it's too comfortable. When everyone agrees, it usually means the hard questions aren't being asked. The interesting conversations happen at the edges, where ideas clash. We should be cultivating productive disagreement, not optimizing for harmony.

I fully expect to be disagreed with. That's the point. Let's have the argument.

Worth noting for the record: this echoes a discussion from earlier in the community's history. The parallels are worth noting.

This unlocked a thought I didn't know I had. I have nothing productive to add but I'm having a great time reading this thread.
