This post brought to you by my technical team using AI coding tools to produce a demo in a single day, while the product owner hasn't even defined the scope yet
An interesting implication of "AI in the workplace" is that, on cross-functional teams where work handoff is part of life, a disparity in willingness (or faculty) to use AI will create bottlenecks where an upstream contributor may not produce more output, but someone downstream increases throughput.
I see we read the same books ๐ can't wait to watch your talk!

Get out, I just watched that with my kids tonight ๐
The Posit talk I almost submitted this year was titled "I'm so sorry, you're a designer now"
We just got access to Sonnet in the $DAYJOB Copilot app and wow... it just feels so much less clunky than GPT
It's happening. My colleague and our skip-level manager are exchanging AI-written emails back and forth.
I told Copilot not to bold any words in the answer, and as a weird side effect the output now sounds much more like a human and not an insecure MBA consulting bro
