It’s allowed a sludge of internal tools to spin up, and more bloat. The ability to sand bag and over build these tools has gotten 2-10x worse.
Only solution I can think of is to drastically cut headcount so productivity is back to prior levels, and profitability is raised. Big Tech is mostly market constrained with not much room to grow beyond the market itself growing.
As for startups, seems like AI tools have drastically reduced their time to market and accelerated their growth curves.
Im convinced the most scarce skill on the planet is the ability to a) envision something that needs to exist in the world b) explain how the thing creates value from a financial perspective.
Most people tend to think they know what they are talking about (e.g. surface level understanding of how to think economically) and end up making basket-case decisions - only realising it months later. By that point they will fail to admit defeat and keep going on.
