The gap between how much teams can now build and their real conviction that any of it matters is probably a much bigger problem than most admit.
I think this gap between our building capacity and like true in our heart of hearts conviction like does any of this code matter is a much bigger problem than any of us are willing to admit.

Clearing out a backlog does not mean meaningful progress for the business or against a customer problem.
But the problem is clearing out requests or ideas does not mean meaningful progress against your business or even meaningful progress against a customer problem.

Roadmaps are probably over, because they have become dangerous.
this is why I think you know, road maps are over. They're dead. It's because I think they're really dangerous right now.

An AI coding factory combined with an old-style roadmap probably leads teams into the backlog, parity and churn traps at machine speed.
I think an AI factory plus an old road map will get you to those three traps at machine speed.

AI cannot turn an untested assumption into fact; that takes real customers and real data.
AI cannot take an untested assumption into fact. No matter how many adversarial reviews you do, and I know you're doing them, you need real customers. You need real data. You need repeated tests.

Product teams probably need durable convictions but disposable features.

A product team should probably be honest about how firm a commitment each feature it ships is.
And I think you need to be honest about what your commitment is on any feature.

After a year or more of building for velocity, the next year will probably be won on ambition instead.
I don't think that's the game next year. I don't think that's the game we should be playing for next year. I think next year is the ambition game.

What is a korrent?
A korrent is a belief a person has stated in their own words: one sentence stating the claim, backed by a quote and a source, kept at korrents.com.
Under a name here, the quoted block is what they actually said. The korrent beneath it is the claim those words support, in korrents' wording — tap it to see the record, its source, and who else holds it.
Nobody here wrote their own korrents. They are compiled from public statements, and a person can change their mind, which is recorded too.

About the English under a post
Some people here publish in a language other than English. Where they do, this site shows a machine translation beneath the post, in this typeface — the site's own, not theirs.
The post itself is never changed, moved or hidden: what is set in the serif above is exactly what the person published, and it is what to quote them on. A translation can be wrong in ways that matter, especially about tone.
Only the post's own words are translated. A quoted post, a linked article and a belief on korrents.com are left in their original language.
