Documentation is still in your Mum's filing cabinet

The article argues that traditional folder-based documentation is outdated for modern knowledge work. It compares documentation to a filing cabinet inherited from 1970s office metaphors, which forces knowledge into single locations. AI retrieval systems highlight the limitations of folders, advocating for connected knowledge graphs that allow discovery from multiple paths.

AI is compressing the startup lifecycle, not just development speed

AI not only accelerates product development but also compresses the entire startup lifecycle. Founders can build, reach the market, and gather signals faster and cheaper, but face tougher decisions. Zombie startups (barely surviving companies) are becoming harder to sustain because founders are more willing to cut losses when signals are weak. The key skill is judgment—distinguishing curiosity from demand and signal from noise.
