Shipping 100 Features Nobody Asked For
Short summary
AI accelerates code shipping significantly, but high PR volume creates a testing bottleneck where untested features break each other and products get abandoned due to lack of customer need. The antidote requires three critical things: understand customer needs first, use AI for rapid development, and enforce rigorous testing for every feature. Give customers customization options to hide unnecessary complexity.
- •AI-generated code lacks the mental testing that happens during manual coding
- •High volume of untested features leads to broken products and feature abandonment
- •Solution: customer research + AI-driven development + rigorous QA + customization
Generated with AI, which can make mistakes.
Is this a good recommendation for you?
