Because of how my brain works I have never been 100% happy with any product. I am constantly ideating, questioning, and suggesting features and I consulted to a lot of product managers.

Innovation. This is what I would consider my super power. Where most people can only zoom in or zoom out on an issue, I can do both. And all optimizations and solutions must pass my efficiency model.
