AI makes it viable to fix them quickly.

That’s where the real gains are.

[Matt Pass @mattpass]

Most dev problems I’ve fixed recently weren’t technical.

They were workflow issues.

[Matt Pass @mattpass]

None of these are hard problems.

But they add friction every single day.

[Matt Pass @mattpass]

It’s less about speed

...and more about control

AI isn’t making developers more productive by default.

In some cases, it’s doing the opposite.

[Matt Pass @mattpass]

The developers seeing real gains are doing something different:

* using AI selectively
* validating everything
* focusing on workflow improvements

[Matt Pass @mattpass]

The solution only came from:

understanding where it was going wrong

and steering it back on track

[Matt Pass @mattpass]

Most people think using AI for development is about writing the right prompt.

It’s not.

[Matt Pass @mattpass]

AI doesn’t remove the need for experience

it just changes where it’s applied

[Matt Pass @mattpass]

A lot of productivity issues aren’t habits.

They’re just unsolved tooling problems.

[Matt Pass @mattpass]

I was spending over an hour a day clearing emails.

Most of it was junk.

I tried filters, rules, unsubscribing… nothing really fixed it.

So I built a tool instead 👇

The interesting part isn’t the tool.

It’s that this kind of problem is now worth solving.

Previously:
“not worth the effort”

Now:
“quick script + AI = done”
