Shipping fast is easy (with AI). Shipping well is (still) rare :)

(A few weekends ago) I witnessed an army of engineers, organized into groups, racing to "hack" more than a dozen shippable features—powered by AI—in record time. 💪 💪 💪 

Ideas that would normally take weeks? Brought to life in a matter of hours with tremendous energy, blazing keyboards (And a lot of beverages and pizza ☕ 🍕 ).

It was inspiring, exciting (and slightly chaotic)!

But as I worked with a few teams to wrap some of that impressive functionality into something people might enjoy using, I couldn't help but realize that while AI can help us build fast, thoughtful design will make this matter.

The future isn't just about what we can ship.

It’s (still) about what people will love to use. 🙏

P.S. Huge kudos to the entire team (and their mentors) who pulled this off in the middle of a hectic release cycle, 

AND a special shoutout to one of our team leaders, Anurag Chaudhary, who stood his ground, refusing to ship until a certain experience bar was met. While some celebrated because “it works!”, he insisted: "Not unless it works well :)"
