Less hectic, more impactful, on-time software

When I have AI generate with little direction from me, I feel what gets created is foreign to me or unappealing.

Really, I have little sense of ownership with what was generated.

What AI creates feels very much like a guest room.

I didn’t create the furniture in the guest room, but I also didn’t have any choice in the matter of how the furniture was placed or the decorations that were added. This just doesn’t feel like home.

Our daughter, Mia (6 years old), cried a couple weeks ago about her room being messy.

She said, “I’m bad at cleaning my room!” I thought, “No, you’re not bad at cleaning. This room is too messy for you to know where to start.”

So, that got me motivated. I got toys into a couple of containers and all but 5-6 stuffies into large yard bags. Everything else was obviously trash or dirty clothes.

What is your team’s constraint?

A business has the constraints of supply and demand. This is common knowledge. These are fundamental. They are binary. If you decide what constraint the business has, the conversation is much more narrow. Not 10 constraints, but supply or demand.

If a business is constantly optimizing for supply or demand, what can the teams in the business optimize?
