🔗 Limited output is a feature.

As startups increasingly leverage LLM agents for software tasks, a critical question arises: are they losing sight of meaningful product development? Johanna Larsson argues that many are racing to optimize for "AI-enablement" rather than focusing on user value. She highlights successful companies like Linear, which thrived by prioritizing core user experiences over excessive features. Instead of getting caught up in continuous output and feature requests, Larsson encourages a return to thoughtful product creation. Businesses should spend more time contemplating what truly matters—cutting out unnecessary complexity to reveal the essence of their products. This slower, more intentional approach not only enhances user satisfaction but also fosters innovation, advocating for fewer features that deliver greater value.
