There's phase one, which is the product work.
You know, what are we building?
Translate.
user pain, user dreams, nightmares into something tangible that we can try and we can iterate on and we can figure out if it works.
And once you have that, you know sort of what you want to build, then you build it, you write the code, and then you review the code and you merge it and you get it going.
And number two was the primary bottleneck for the past 100 years almost.
So like the rate limiter was how quickly can you write code.
That is now super cheap.
So that's sort of been compressed.
And so the bottleneck now is, like, the two other ends, which is review.
How can we do that much more efficiently?
And then it's how can we actually do the product piece much more efficiently?
Because, you know, if you believe that code is cheaper to write, then naturally the two other things are bottlenecks.
And that means one of the focus areas is how do we do the product work as efficiently as possible?
That's a great question.
Part of that is how do we make our PMs as efficient as possible?
How do we sort of take all the working with clients, synthesizing what they think, our own strategic priorities, our own taste and opinions of our vision of where our product is going?
How do we make them do that as efficiently as possible and hand that over to engineers as efficiently as possible?
I'm not sure if I've solved that yet, but I do think it's like, that's the way that I'm thinking about it is constantly, what's the bottleneck to our velocity?
And then we try to solve that.
