🚨 You're Optimizing for the Wrong Thing 🚨

In the tech industry, we pride ourselves on optimization, but let's face it: we might be optimizing for the wrong thing. While traditional industries repeat tried-and-tested templates, in software development, there's no template for innovation.

Consider this: we optimize our processes to keep everyone 100% utilized, or we obsess over short term sprint velocity alone. But what if these efficiencies are merely creating an illusion of progress?

We're often mistaken in believing that perfecting code or processes is the endgame. But here's the provocative truth – 💡 it's not about the code; it's about the speed at which we learn from building it.

The stark reality in our field is that there's no such thing as "done." Mostly everything we create is custom-made, every solution is the first of its kind.

🔍 The real bottleneck? Our learning curve.

We build, we test, we learn – and we must do it faster than ever before. Setting up technical systems, forming teams, and establishing processes is just the beginning. The real work is in fine-tuning them relentlessly to meet the ever-changing demands.

And winners in this fast-paced arena? They're the ones who don’t just keep up but stay ahead through rapid learning and constant course corrections.

So, I challenge you to think: What are you optimizing for?
