Building @trywindmill. Built @GifJifApp. Formerly Product @Yext,




Yet another example why larger companies have challenges with AI and are not seeing productivity gains. They want to use AI, but they don't change the environment for it to operate successfully. Procurement/vendor onboarding was a bane for us @coinbase too, until we simplified it for the sheer number of AI tools we wanted to try. 90% of the simplification was around approval chains and human coordination (no surprise). The remaining was security and data, which is worth the time. - Enable small pilots - Try them on OSS repos first - Parallelize contract approvals and security reviews - Be opinionated about the risk of tools (e.g., code review agents vs. iOS simulator tools have very different risk profiles). And Zip sucks.
