Shipping products fast should be the #1 tech leaders' priority

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: - 2-week build cycles (max) - Assume every AI capability will 10x in 60 days - Build for composability, not completeness - Ship, test, kill, repeat.

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.
