"I think it’s a great idea, and it needs to be made effective. 1 day per week isn’t reasonable (you can’t get enough done in just one day and it’s hard to carry momentum). 1 week per month would be great, but doesn’t do justice to your “main” project. Something needs to budge here, and engineers need to be encouraged to take large amounts of time exploring new ideas and new directions."
