When Devin hired assistants, one of her tests was simple: bake a batch of brownies, bring in just one.
The brownie was never the point. How it showed up was.

None of it was really about baking. It was a window into how someone approaches everything else — the small, unglamorous, nobody’s-watching moments that quietly reveal exactly how much care a person brings to their work.
So: what would your brownie say about you?
