🟢 Deploy something and let people have a play as soon as you can.

Too often, I've found myself tucked away working on a feature, going deeper and deeper down that rabbit hole...

I have now encountered several cases of unintelligible documentation - functional requirements, security measures, technical how-tos - where I had to ask the author for clarification, and getting as a reply "oh I don't know; I just asked #ChatGPT".

Now I can bash #ai tools, but people who produce documentation that they themselves don't understand have always been a blight on #IT. It's irresponsible, unprofessional, and makes work harder for everyone.
