The lean startup offers a lot of lossy proxies for building and releasing things because it presupposes that building things takes a long time

The map is not the territory. Validating against anything other than the actual feature is a lossy proxy. It may be an acceptable tradeoff because building the feature is too costly but that’s the whole discussion at hand.

In most scenarios I can tell you if I like or dislike a feature much faster than it takes a developer to build it

The whole point of lean startup was to route around the bottleneck of development velocity.

Sure, but the actual lag from "I have an idea worth trying" to "here's a working version people can interact with" is one of the larger pieces of latency in that entire process. You can't test or evaluate somet

It's completely absurd how wrong this article is. Development speed is 100% the bottleneck. Just to quote one little bit from the piece regarding Google: "In other words, there have been numerous dead ends that they explored, inva

Hopefully what it actually means is that AI become so mundane we treat it like electricity. It's completely unremarkable, but a miracle to those who knew about the before times.

AI is just whatever the newest algorithm is. Chess.com uses AI, Google: 10 blue links version used AI (I'm feeling lucky), Shazam uses AI. It's all AI. I know there's recent hype but it feels like we've all lost perspect

This isn’t at all surprising. We’ve basically abandoned the societal shared vision of prosperity and building for future generations. There are no more heroes, no more examples that drive our aspirations. We’re a mess of silos, struggles, a

You’re totally right of course. You’re doing God’s work by making Jira more usable. It’s just an unfortunate state of affairs that this is needed. Bless.

Good software isn't significantly more valuable than mediocre software in many applications, provided the main job gets done. Everything else is a downstream effect of that.

If Judge Jackson gets confirmed, it will be 6-2 since she has promised to recuse herself from this case.
