Code stops being an Asset (something you maintain, refactor, and cherish) and becomes a Consumable (something you generate, use, and discard).
By moving fast, you increase your “luck surface area”3. You take more shots on goal, test more hypotheses, and stumble into more happy accidents.
When creating is free, the volume of mediocre “things” approaches infinity. To survive, you must simultaneously raise your taste and lower your sentiment.
We are biologically wired to hoard what we build (see IKEA effect), but in an age of infinite generation, hoarding leads to complexity, and complexity kills speed.
Diverse opinions are vital. But we need to change where the disagreement happens. In the old world, we argued in rooms about predictions (”I think users will want X”) and held tedious reviews to catch errors. In the new world, a manual review is just a manifestation of a lack of automation in creation. Instead of reviewing the output, you should be debating the system that created it.
