#LLM tools let you write code faster, but LOCs has NEVER been the bottleneck to value. The bottleneck is organizational coherence.

Instead of working towards that alignment, we are encouraged to "just #AI it." The result? AI makes everyone work MORE, with no real productivity gains.

Teams need to get better at choosing more valuable work to do. For that, you need #UserResearch. And user research can only happen at a human pace.

Research is leadership, and code can help (but only in the right places)

Code was never the blocker in delivering customer value — and the easier writing code becomes, the more it distracts from the work we must do to unblock productivity.

"Sometimes you go into user research with a hypothesis and the research validates it. That’s great. That’s easy. But what I really love is when you go in with a hypothesis and the research totally flips it on its head. That’s when you learn the most."

When users tell you that you’re focusing on the wrong thing – listen to them | Scottish Enterprise Design blog

Part of me wonders if I should say this, but…I love it when user research goes wrong.  Sometimes you go into user research with a hypothesis and the research validates it. That’s great. That’s easy.
