Most GenAI-driven productivity debates, I feel, quietly assume GenAI is just a coding tool. But for teams actually building AI-native features, the problem is quite different. Wrote about it in my blog, with a couple of visuals that I think make the argument clearer than words alone.

GenAI in Product : Means & Ends

GenAI as a coding tool and GenAI as a product feature are not the same problem. Most productivity debates don't make this distinction. They should.

While speed is important feature of GenAI coding. What we build using it has been a constant learning for us as well. Even in prototyping, functionalities that are discernable are easier to build rather than explorations. I have really struggled to get AI to do the explorations which simple whiteboarding always helps

@vsvivek93 That's a good point, which I didn't touch here. GenAI is horrible at explorations. Prompting your way through ambiguity rarely works.

GenAI is good when the problem is clear.
