🚀 Building the Wrong Thing Faster: AI and the Build Trap
AI has dramatically compressed the time it takes to build software. But it hasn't stopped us building products that nobody wants.
If anything, it's accelerated the problem - to the point we've invented a new word for the output: slop.
Drawing on observations from Brendan's consulting work and conversations with friends at Google, Meta and Spotify, He'll explore how this isn't really a new problem and why now, more than ever, we need human centricity, sound product strategy and product discovery.
