Building a good company culture isn't worth it. Until it is (a thread) 🧵

The UK's had mandatory gender pay gap reporting for 10 years now. I built a tool that tracks how 15,000+ employers have actually performed over that time. Some trends are... not great.

I'll be updating with a few leaderboards over the weekend, once everyone's 2025 filings are in (deadline is Saturday!)

💡 Most people talk about AI in terms of the problems it solves directly.

I think that misses the point.

⏱️The real impact of AI is second- and third-order: it has collapsed the cost and time of building software by an order of magnitude. When software becomes 5× cheaper and 5× faster to create, the business case changes for EVERYTHING.

The closest example I can think of, is injection moulding.

Plastics didn’t just replace wood or metal. Injection moulding made complexity effectively free. Once you’d paid for the mould, adding ribs, clips, textures, snap-fits or hinges cost almost nothing. Entire categories of everyday objects suddenly became worth making - not because demand changed, but because economics did.

AI is doing the same to software.

It doesn’t just automate tasks. It makes bespoke internal tools, edge-case workflows and “nice-to-have” automations suddenly viable. Software becomes disposable, experimental, and abundant - and that quietly reshapes organisations far more than any single AI feature ever will.

📉The cost of bespoke business process software and automation just crashed through the floor. Complexity just became "cheap". Injection moulding changed the everyday lives of most people. AI-built software will too.

I like em dashes, and I hate that some people now take them as evidence of text being AI generated.

I think late stage capitalism is owning a hundred devices and spending your entire life making sure none of them die before you do 🔋

@VincentJBruins Confirmed. This was not fun... a stone got stuck in the brake pedal 🤦‍♂️

I want to love @TIDAL, but both the Android and iPhone apps have a total meltdown offline, making it practically useless commuting in London, or on flights 🤨
