Patrick seems to be advocating making your everyday work public, repeatable and enduring. That's ideal. But, for people that are working in a silo or otherwise not going to take that step, this seems like an accessible step.
In fact, a carbon copy of this seems like a good template for a UX person to follow. Pick a topic (not on boarding). Do the research.

In-app notifications, advanced settings, in-app tips (Clippy!), profile pages, email drip marketing, commenting systems, badges, profile pages…. Almost any UX topic could use teardowns like this.
