### AI overview

The article describes Chainguard's "Making Time," a lightly structured program that gives engineers protected time for self-directed, strategic work outside the immediate product roadmap. It explains how similar programs at IBM and Google supported innovation and presents Chainguard's approach as a way to encourage prototyping, technical improvements, documentation review, mentoring, and long-term engineering impact.
