Developers push back on 'ship faster': slow iteration and AI as a canvas
davidfromkansas · x · 2026-09-25
Developer shedsgns reposts ryolu's thread pushing back against the worship of efficiency, productivity and speed in the AI coding era. ryolu argues endless production is pointless without time to think deeply, and frames AI as a new canvas for making strange, personal, previously impossible things—tools, worlds, poems, games, interfaces, films. shedsgns adds that speed "is for McDonald's" and champions slow iteration, experimentation, and even wiping everything out for a better idea: "I like being human doing what I do."
