We keep hearing about 10x or 100x productivity gains in engineering and knowledge work.

But outside the model labs, I haven’t seen the corresponding 10-100x revenue growth across the market or increase in quality.

So where is the productivity going?

@adamwathan didn't get it, waiting! 🙏

@naval The comparison with media holds on the supply side. But people don’t consume software the way they browse YouTube. The trigger for software discovery is still pain.

And people still need to decide who they should trust with their data and workflow.
