Frustration is the fuel for innovation.

Interesting thought! In moments like these, capturing the innovation can be ignited by asking whether the comment was frustration or feedback, or said slightly differently “was that trying to be helpful or hurtful?”. Tends to get the other party to rethink their words and produce a more productive dialogue. It’s a tool we can all use both at and outside of work :)

		I often use it as a self-reflection for myself ; i'm working solo so my exploration is really different - (thankfully I work on tools I use myself). Anger / Frustration can definitely be measured from text only - I don't necessarily need to "drive" a discussion to try to get an explicit confirmation of what is going wrong - that signal is a strong enough information to indicate for something important (or that the user is just mad). Being able to switch from mad -> chill is definitely the point where we can digest why something is happening - and depending on the context it can definitely underline important focus points to improve.
