Everything on Cognitive Framework

The 'Great Reindexing' is the cognitive process of shifting from a system-centric view to a user-journey-centric view. Engineers must learn to start with user problems and map them to technical solutions, rather than the reverse.

Impact: Reduces misalignment between engineering and product teams, leading to faster development cycles and higher user satisfaction by ensuring the right problem is solved.
