My speed shipping software increased but so did the demands of features by my company.
Or worse. I’ve heard stories from friends where leadership expects huge boosts in productivity due to LLMs, and perceive anything but an order of magnitude boost as incompetence or a refusal to adapt.
PMs can now also ship their half-baked requirements documents even faster thanks to the help of AI.
I don't really get this TBH.
Shipping speed never/is was the issue. Most companies are terrible at figuring out what exactly they should be allocating resources behind.
Speeding up does not solve the problem that most humans who are at the top of the hierarchy are poor thinkers. In fact it compounds it. More noise, nice.
