Shipping products fast should be the #1 tech leaders' priority.
Why?
Your competition isn't another startup anymore.
It's the next AI API update that can kill your product and make it obselete.
Facts:
OpenAI ships major updates every 4-6 weeks. Anthropic just dropped computer use. Google's Gemini 2.0 rewrote the rules on multimodal AI.
Your "innovative feature" might be a deprecated commodity by the time you ship it.
The companies winning right now aren't the ones with the best plans.
They're the ones who can pivot in a sprint, not a quarter.
We've shifted our entire development philosophy:
The hardest part? Letting go of the beautiful architecture you designed last month.
The best part? You're building products that actually matter today, not six months ago.
If you're a CTO or technical leader still defending your January roadmap in October... we need to talk.
The only sustainable strategy is uncomfortable adaptability.
P.S.
I love discussing tech. Feel free to reach out to me.

Your right about shipping fast, but it's pointless if you build in a vacuum. Those rapid dev cycles need a steady flow of new projects to validate against. We built a system for a similar software house that got them 15 new projects in 3 months, keeping their devs busy.
Happy to go for a partnership here :)
