Sure, LLMs let you write code faster, and most of the time that code works. But writing code hasn't been the blocker to delivering value since the 90s. The bottleneck is now organizational coherence. But instead of working towards that alignment, we are encouraged to "just AI it." The result? Studies show that AI makes everyone work more, in return for marginal productivity gains. The real transformation that needs to happen is getting better at choosing more valuable work to do, not just churning out more LOCs. For that, you need user research. But research is done with humans, and therefore can only happen at a human pace. Not convinced yet? Read the article for the full set of insights. ⸻ Enjoyed the article?

Why Brian should comment: While the post touches on product strategy and organizational alignment—adjacent to Brian's expertise—the core argument is fundamentally about AI tooling productivity, not growth models, growth loops, or how to build high-performance product teams. Brian's unique expertise wouldn't provide a meaningfully differentiated perspective here.

The alignment problem is real, but I'd push one level deeper: most orgs can't achieve coherence because they don't have a shared objective function. User research findings land in a room where sales, engineering, and product are all optimizing for different things, so the insights don't resolve disagreement, they just give everyone better ammunition for their existing position. Research at human pace still won't fix that.
