"Discomfort as a filter" is a powerful way to recognize when we’re actually pushing into new territory rather than slipping back into the status quo. I loved the distinction between “automating the old” and “inventing the new”; the writing workflow example makes that shift tangible. And the reminder that there’s no secret weapon, only the willingness to rethink from first principles, is inspiring and practical at the same time.
Love how you distinguish between the gut feelings of being wrong vs. uncomfortable. Iteration can feel like a punch to the stomach, but next time will remember this mindset!
