The great thing about imagining the future is that you aren't responsible for shipping it. Shipping is the act of resolving conflicts and removing constraints, and the art is actually in those myriad little decisions.

But it's fun to look back at one's vague hopes and dreams and point to the ones that seem to fit. e.g. “We don't implement a specification, we manage a transformation queue.”

I think that still applies even after the shift to generative AI.
