everyone's talking about their teams like they were at the peak of efficiency and bottlenecked by ability to produce code here's what things actually look like - your org rarely has good ideas. ideas being expensive to implement was actually helping - majority of workers have no reason to be super motivated, they want to do their 9-5 and get back to their life - they're not using AI to be 10x more effective they're using it to churn out their tasks with less energy spend - the 2 people on your team that actually tried are now flattened by the slop code everyone is producing, they will quit soon - even when you produce work faster you're still bottlenecked by bureaucracy and the dozen other realities of shipping something real - your CFO is like what do you mean each engineer now costs $2000 extra per month in LLM bills

The ultimate competitive advantage is loving what you do. In the long run, it’s hard to beat someone who loves the game.

I just want to do things quickly - we’re going to die, so why blow 3 days on something that can be done 90 minutes? Is it actually going to be 16x better? This is the core of almost all arguments I have with people I work with. Can we just do it and see what happens?
