Had an honest realization recently: I've built dashboards that are supposed to save people from manually checking things, but I still catch myself manually verifying what the dashboard already told me. Not because the data's wrong, just because trusting a summary over raw reality takes longer to build than I expected.
Made me wonder if this is a universal builder problem or just me being paranoid about my own product.
Curious what others here think:
Do you trust the tools/dashboards you use daily, or do you still spot-check manually out of habit?
As a builder, have you ever shipped a feature meant to save time, only to notice users (or yourself) still doing the manual version alongside it?
What actually made you start trusting a tool's output instead of double-checking it?
