I'd like to try a couple more.
(A) Constrain scope, drastically. We marked 25 blueprints complete in Train [3]. Since there has been no change to the core team, let's limit Ussuri to 25 blueprints [4]. If this turns out to be too few, what's the worst thing that happens? We finish everything, early, and wish we had done more. If that happens, drinks are on me, and we can bump the number for V.
I welcome scope reduction, focusing on fewer features, stability, and bug fixes than "more gadgetries and gongs". Which also means: less frenzy, less split attention, fewer mistakes, more retained concentration, and more serenity. And, yeah, any reasonable person would read '25' as _an_ educated limit, rather than some "optimal limit". If we end up with bags of "spare time", there's loads of tech-debt items, performance (it's a feature, let's recall) issues, and meaningful clean-ups waiting to be tackled. [...] -- /kashyap
