AI closed 90% of your support tickets. you released 10 new features this month but barely have any usage metrics yet to validate them. what now? the bottleneck is now the organizational culture. most orgs are now sitting on an unexpected surplus of capacity, and don't know what to do with it yet. a lot of the software org culture is still based on "the old days", when work was slower, planning took weeks and development took months. so culture was optimized to do things as fast as possible, as close as possible to "right" on the first try. the immediate response from orgs to AI, in most cases, has been to keep the exact same approach and processes - just do the same thing, faster! the problem is planning can't catch up. work planned for the whole quarter is done by the first month, and planning for the next quarter is still half baked. a lot of people, myself included, have asked: "so... where is all the new software that AI is building?" I think this question is mostly answered by the fact that most organizations, so far, aren't producing much more software. they're just producing the same thing, faster. so the remaining time they are either wondering what's up, doing internal politics, or just cutting half the engineering team because it's "superfluous". the culture in software must adapt and switch mindsets. the edge is not anymore in producing the same with a smaller workforce. the edge is in leading the same workforce to produce MORE.
