AI shifts work to 50:50 between zooming out and execution, straining workspace design
louisvarge · x · 2026-09-11
louisvarge highlights an underrated problem: designing workspaces that support both "zooming out" work (spotting bottlenecks, big-picture planning) and deep-focus execution.
He argues the ratio used to be roughly 90:10, but with AI it's closer to 50:50 — making it hard for a single office to support both quiet computer work and a "mad scheming circle."
