We consider research to be the backbone of what we do at Doordash. Do you think it's important to conduct research before beginning a project, or would you rather jump right in?

I believe this would be situation driven. I believe that it is important to strike the right balance depending on the amount of time available at hand, my comfort level with the application or process I have been tasked with automating, and the technology that I am going to use. It wouldn't make sense to spend too much time researching something that we are comfortable with using or have already researched in the past. But if tasked with something new, I believe I will start off with enough research that will help me be successful at delivering a good result.
