Columnar re-arrangement: only five people will ever use this because it's impossible to make discoverable, but those five people will love it!

with the caveat that we're not close to statistical significance, I will say this — after dragging my feet for a long time on launching an onboarding survey, I am pretty shocked by at least one of the results. this was not my mental model of new users!

THE BAD NEWS: buttondown is now sufficiently corporate such that we have an onboarding survey
THE GOOD NEWS: i convinced my boss to let me keep in some great microcopy for the skip button
