The “writing specs” culture is becoming ridiculous. It was necessary when the cost of building was high. It feels productive when you do it. But if you think about it, you can create a POC with an agent much faster than you can draft specs. And that POC will answer most questions about how the experience should actually work, far better than trying to predict every detail upfront in a document.

Product owners need to be closer to the creation. We need to change our mindset.

I used to really respect data-driven culture, and I still wonder whether there’s a healthy middle ground. But after working under it for so long, I’ve seen how it can slowly erode judgment, which is dangerous. Common sense starts to disappear, and product managers become slaves to the numbers, even when the right choice for users feels so obvious. It made me continuously outraged.
