80% of soldiers at the Battle of the Bulge never fired their weapons. 80% of your Slack workspace has never shipped anything. Marshall called it diffusion of responsibility. We seem committed to calling it "culture."
"AI" users are like, "I know this is imprecise but as a convenience these transcriptions are better than nothing"
then 70 years from now we'll still be struggling to debunk these entirely hallucinated transcriptions of thousands of manuscripts that were pissed into the pool of human knowledge.
some things are worse than nothing. "signal-shaped noise" is worse than nothing.

“Agile-istas, human-centric designers, governance, security, enterprise architecture - these roles exist to raise the standard of practice within an organization. And, as such, they are often about slowing things down long enough for understanding to form.”

“1. You don't know what to build
This is the one nobody wants to talk about because it's embarrassing. Your PM hasn't talked to a real user in two months. Your requirements arrive as a Jira ticket with three sentences and a Figma link to a design that was approved by someone who's never used the product. Your engineers are making fifty micro-decisions a day about behaviour, edge cases, and error handling that nobody specified, because nobody thought about them.”

AI coding tools are optimising the wrong thing and nobody wants to hear it. Writing code was already fast. The bottleneck is everything else: unclear requirements, review queues, terrified deploy cultures, and an org chart that needs six meetings to decide what colour the button should be.
