Hey Reader,
Welcome to The Middle, your midweek rundown of the most interesting things we've read this week.

CULTURE Ship It Danno
Atlassian went from your typical software company to an innovation machine after starting "ShipIt Days."
Here’s how simple it is: every quarter, employees get 24 hours to work on whatever they want. No restrictions. Just build something valuable, ship it, and share it.
The result?
Some of their biggest product innovations, like Jira Service Desk, came out of these sessions, and employee engagement shot up by 32%.
It turns out that when you give people the freedom to create, they do their best work.
What's your version of ShipIt Days?
