We are living in the era of AI, where everything is moving at an incredible pace. My customers and friends constantly tell me to ship faster. At times, I feel FOMO seeing young founders in their 20s claiming to have built in months what I’ve been working on for nearly a decade:Taghash, now 9 years and counting.
At its core, I believe the AI era has accelerated the pace of shipping. At the same time, it has introduced new layers of complexity. If we blindly let LLMs generate code without guardrails, we risk undoing years of hard work.
Throughout the history of civilization, many such waves have come and gone. What has endured is the determination to keep going, to not give up, and the ability to adapt like a stream of water, flowing through plains, mountains, and uneven terrain.
We are slow starters, but we are learning to swim with confidence so we don’t drown. We may be slow, but our eyes are open, and we have the ambition to go all in.
