> shipping more features was never the problem

Amen to that! I see you are on a mission here, Maarten :)

Shipping more features—faster is the mindset propagated by Jeff Sutherland with his 10x promises and his "twice the work in half the time" mentality, and many more besides him, of course. Perhaps if we started using terms like "solutions" or "life enhancers" instead of "features" we'd make less stuff, and make everything with more care.

#SlowFeatures just like #SlowFood ;)

Not that you don’t put them out there quickly, but you slowly marinate and edit them with care until they’re amazing.

#SlowFeatures — an excellent hashtag.

I especially like the third one. I think that's one of the biggest problems with AI and why it needs humans.

Totally! There is no better way to support your “I love my solution over my customer’s problem” approach than generative AI.

How to ask the question and win with all responses? :D

The Atlassian paragraph was so good! Worst tool I’ve ever used for visualizing work. I can’t think of one thing it does well

The Atlassian topic is a typical Innovator's Dilemma.

They couldn't kill any feature and were aware of the implications. That's why they bought Trello for the customers they don't need the full complexity of Jira.
