Go fast then go slow.

I've been building complex stuff with AI lately. Things that would have taken weeks are taking minutes. You look at what you just made and think, _yeah, that's pretty good. Look at all that!_

It's a trap.

You're moving fast. You're riding this wave of productivity that feels incredible. And it is incredible. But there's this pervasive feeling of _good enough…_ Look at how much we did! Look at how fast we did it!

But good enough is only good enough.

I've said it for years: the last 20% is the last 80%. That was true before AI. The first 80% arrives so fast that you haven't even warmed up yet to your own idea. Your brain is already moving on to the next thing. But the details, edge cases, the copy, the _feel_ of the thing — that still takes time. Maybe two or three times longer than your first shot.

Speed is a gift, but be sure it doesn't make you lazy.
