What do AI coding and fast food have in common?
Both are cheap calories. And it’s very easy to overeat / overbuild.
A follow-up to my recent post about the “one more iteration” habit.
Product teams ship faster now. Iterations are shorter. But are we shipping what users actually need?
Reflecting on a recent chat with Jonas Van Poucke about “feature indigestion”. Testing an idea on real users with something working sounds great. Still, understanding users first can be cheaper than testing everything live. Otherwise the product fills up with junk. If a feature works, nobody rebuilds it properly. If it doesn’t, nobody cleans it up.
Before, limits protected us from all of this. Now we have to set them ourselves.
