If you have free time and two tasks on the board — a technical (refactoring) and a product one with the same priority — which one would you choose?

With the same priority, I would choose the task that brings the greatest value to the product and users. Usually, product tasks directly impact the user experience and business goals, so they should be done first. However, if refactoring significantly improves stability or simplifies future development, it can be considered. In any case, it's important to discuss with the team and the manager to make a balanced decision.
