"Are we building the right thing?" is a question as old as engineering itself. GenAI made it easier than ever to skip. Time to start asking again.

Are We Building the Right Thing, or How GenAI Made Us Forget to Ask

I was listening to the A/B Testing podcast the other day, episode 229, where Alan Page had my friend Chris Armstrong on as a guest. At one point they were talking about Verification and Validation. Two concepts that have been around forever. Two simple questions, really. "Are we building the thing right?" That's verification. "Are we building the right thing?" That's validation.

If you need an LLM to generate ideas, then your idea-making thing may be starved. Feed it by playing. By making. By experimenting. By taking an idea for a walk. By taking a walk. By reading. By talking with people. By listening. By being bored. But feed it. Imagination is excellent.

Any time we say “it will be faster to do this one bigger step than the two small ones” we're missing an opportunity to change the system in a way that makes iterating cheaper. It is faster to do one big step, _precisely_ because iterating in that system is expensive. 1/2

I caught the most beautiful image on a cruise down the Colorado River last night. The reflection was almost perfect. My next painting maybe.. without the houses. The camera made it lighter than it was since it was dusk.. the sun was setting.
